"Went to Wheelhouse on the Saturday night of Valentine's day weekend. We showed up about 10 minutes before our reservation but were seated immediately. The restaurant was very full, but service was still very fast, friendly, and professional. My girlfriend and I dressed up, and in a button up shirt and sports coat I was a little over-dressed but didn't feel too out of place. I ordered the Toronto Old Fashioned to drink and my girlfriend got a Southern Belle; both were delicious (the old fashioned was one of the best I've had anywhere, unique because of the hint of mint from fernet branca and the infusion of smoke). We ordered a plate of deviled eggs to start, which were delicious, and for entree's we got pierogis and squash agnolotti. Both were excellent, but for $18/piece the portions could've maybe been a little bigger. Finally, we got the red velvet Valentine's dessert special, which included red velvet cookies, brownies, and macaron's. All were delicious. Almost everything about Wheelhouse feels very upscale; the space if gorgeous, the food and drink is served beautifully, and the service is top notch. It also caters to the younger, bar-centric downtown crowd, so the music and lighting reflected more of that vibe. The price point is certainly higher than the bulk of nearby bars and restaurants, but felt pretty fair given the overall quality of the experience. All in all, I'd say this is one of the best restaurant experiences I've had anywhere. I will be making a point to come back."
