Overall Excellent Experience

The food, service and atmosphere were awesome. We shared the 40 oz Porterhouse after an order of calamari and free wedge salads and it was cooked perfectly. The wine we selected was nicely paired with our entree. We also enjoyed a free order of garlic mashers as well as a creme brulee all for under $100. We will be back !!

This place has a good feel to it but that's where the experience ends. The food is not bad but it's not great and the prices are really high. Also every time you go they ask "what's the special occasion" which strikes me as odd. I have been here more than once but the last time I was here the...

We just dined here celebrating a family member's graduation from ODU. Great choice for such an occasion. The food was excellent and the service suburb. Our waitress was one of the best that I've had.

We were anticipating an excellent steak adventure.
Once the meal started the scallop spring roll was very good. The wait for our main course was excessive.
Once the meals arrived, the garlic mashed potatoes was unassuming and plain. The potato wedges were marginally bad and unappetizing even for our teenage son.
The steaks were fine but the shrimp ordered for...

Food was great! Service was even better, valet was also great, but do expect to spend a decent amount at the end of the night. I went in expecting that, and had no care for price of what i planned to eat/ drink, but if you are worried about price, you might want to choose elsewhere.

This was a great dinning experience however, it was a great place if you are on a diet because nothing is really seasoned. I like the fact that they do group parties, but the noise level can be to much. They should try to section off groups. The group that way there when we ate was very loud and the laughter and loud talk echoed threw the place. The service though was excellent.

The quality of the food and the professionalism and friendliness of the staff easily rivals Ruth's Chris steakhouse. The prices are better and everything is not ala carte. They also give you a combined meal option with three courses for a great price. The food was excellent quality and superbly prepared. We will go back.

Worst service experience I have ever had. Went for a birthday dinner and staff never asked who's birthday it was, forgot to serve cake we gave them, and this was of course after the owner yelled at our party of 12 and belittled our group. Won't ever return or recommend to anyone. Crab cakes were terrible, but crab dip and baked brie was tasty. So disappointed.
