Amazing!! Tuesday night is half bottle wine night, even the very expensive bottles. Filet was great and the cheese plate had a great selection. Yum :)

Black martini, Spanish octopus, lobster chowder, filet mignon, shrimp etouffe (not authentic, but good nonetheless).

Pay attention to the fish specials; they can be amazing (hoping for John Dory). Always know the filet mignon competes with, or surpasses, any of the familiar chains (e.g., Morton's, Ruth's, The Palm).

Best place to get the classic old school cocktails...Tom Collins is my personal choice!
Chelsea CoxDecember 16, 2012
Get the Peanut Butter Martini. It's not on the regular menu, it's on the dessert menu. While you're on the dessert menu, go for the creme brûlée- also delicious.

Happy hour is a steal
Savannah CookAugust 22, 2013
Loved the food! however, we noticed our server was much more involved with the older couples around us, and pretty much neglected us the entire time.
Charla PayneDecember 12, 2015
The food is prepared nicely- I think an expanded menu would be nicer but its excellent- The atmosphere is nice for two-

The shrimp and grits were incredibly good.

Bacon starter is awesome. Starters are the size of European mains.

Wagyu carpaccio, porcinni tuna w/ lobster mash and The Huntsman. This is THE dining experience!

Try a mixed infusion of cherry and pineapple. If you have more than 2 do not try to drive home.
