I travel every week, so that's 3-4 different restaurants a week... This place was probably the best combination of spectacular food and impeccable service I have ever had... Ask for Phil

You will need to make a reservation prior to coming by calling the restaurant. It’s totally worth it. Great cocktails. Fun bar crowd. Love the Alex’s Salad 🥗

I Always get a T Bone steak and NYO Mac n Cheese. With blue cheese crumbles on top of my T Bone. And don't forget the pineapple juice.

Ask for the Chicken Fingers appetizer. It's not on the menu, but its great! Served with shoestring fries, or sub their amazing "Not Your Ordinary Mac & Cheese.

So yummy! We had the spinach queso which was absolutely amazing! Then the chicken fingers and a salad - their homemade dressings really made it great!

Crab cakes and Not Your Ordinary Mac & Cheese (made with shells and white cheese) = the perfect meal.

Steak is a little overcooked bit still tastes good. The Mac and cheese is absolutely amazing though! Getting an extra order to go!

Disappointed. Food was average at best. Pork was not good nor was smashed potatoes. Heard other tables complaining about food also. Service was awful. Would not come here again.
