"Made reservations for my husbands 80th Birthday, which we mentions upon making the reservations. We arrived, the hostess said table is ready, stated 80th. birthday, she said someone hit the wrong key 89. The 4 of us were seated, and there was a used wine glass on our table. Ordered 4 cocktails from the bar. Bread brought to the table, I asked once again for the glass to be removed, the man removed it. We ordered appetizers, the 4th person wanted shrimp cocktail, he did not hear her. Our appetizers arrived first, no drinks. We were half was through our appetizers when the drinks arrived. We ordered soup, shrimp lobster bisque, it was okay. We placed orders for the entrees. My husband ordered swordfish, it was dry and the side vegetable was hard not cooked enough. One of our party asked for steaksauce, they did not have that. I had Lambchops, they were good, but the vegetable was hard not cooked enough. My husband had a taste for a Brandy Alexander, no blender. We shared ice cream and brandy on top. Bill was $480.50. No mention of birthday, no special dish! Our waiter, mention that they had 75 people cancel and they were sending staff home early. Also, he mentioned he was a bartender. I mentioned to the hostess what happened about the special occasion, she said oh I can call the manager. I said no because we will not be returning. We live 5 minutes from Indiana, that is quite a distance to travel."

"We found the portion sizes to be a bit small, especially since we were a party of four, but that’s understandable. I particularly enjoyed the shaved Brussels salad (without blue cheese); it was delicious and made the visit worthwhile. The flavors were well balanced, and the miso dressing was tasty and addictive. I highly recommend this dish to everyone! The burrata was decent given the price, although it came with some not-so-pretty sour strawberries—something outside the restaurant's control, perhaps. There were also minimal chili flakes on the dish, and while there were more pieces of bread than shown in the photo, with four of us at the table, there wasn't much to share. That said, the burrata paired nicely with the Brussels salad. The calamari was crispy and best enjoyed while hot, though those who tried it said they wouldn’t order it again. For dessert, we shared tres leches, which was tasty, and they kindly added a candle for my friend. One highlight of the meal was the drinks; I’d definitely return to sample more. The "Let's Get Fizzical" was delicious and perfectly crafted. I was hesitant about a drink made with egg whites, but it turned out great. The "Evening Prayers" was also good and quite strong, which is to be expected when mixing vodka, gin, and wine. Additionally, I noticed the restaurant offers brunch on Saturdays and Sundays, and I’d be interested in trying some items from their brunch menu, but overall, my experience was pretty average."
