    Our first time there and it won’t be our last. Unbelievable meal and the service was spot on. Too much to choose from. We had the tuna tartare, seafood bisque, watermelon salad, pork chop, and striped bass. No room for dessert though, maybe next time. Hubby had a Revolver, he claimed it was the best bourbon drink he’s had. If you like different, give it a try! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. 🍷

    The atmosphere and service were extraordinary! We both had the Grilled Flank Steak and it was absolutely delicious. It was cooked to perfection and very tender. We had this with Chamard's signature Cold Stone Red wine. Perfect dining night!

    Seated at reserved time. Nice round table with club chairs; very comfortable. Server explained choice credits menu. Very pleasant. Live Music was wonderful; perfect volume, mellow. Drinks were great!! Shrimp cocktail was perfect and sauce was very nice compliment. Glad the whole shrimp could be eaten! Ordered one of each entree. Chicken parm was very good; crispy chicken, nice flavor of sauce. Steak cooked medium rare as ordered! Potatoes were flavorful and sauce was very good. Burger seemed to be overcooked and bun was as well. Sent it back and ordered chicken parm. Mini dessert was perfect after the dinner. Just enough food and went away satisfied.

    It was my son’s birthday dinner and they were very instrumental in making it a special occasion. Service was phenomenal. It’s our go to place for celebrations. Only issue was the steak was dryer than normal. I think it may have been still cooking on the plate. Wouldn’t normally complain but at $70-$100 a plate you should get what you ordered. Overall pleasant experience and the apps and side dishes were deliscious 5 stars.
