"Best dinner of the year! AND we eat out every night, so saying this was the best dinner this year... that's saying something. Came here last night for a date night. We have been a few times previously. My wife wanted the surf and turf for two. So, that's what we ordered. At $60 it seemed like a bargain. It featured ribeye steak, crab cake, cauliflower, green beans, rainbow carrots and garlic mashed potatoes. It was served with sides of remoulade, bearnaise and demiglaze. First off nothing was pedestrian about this plate of food. I have no idea what kind of green beans they were. They were long, flat and wide. Kind of like a Lima beans in its shell, but tender and sweet. There was cauliflower that had bright white tops but green stems. Never seen that before. Carrots were rainbow colors. The steak was seasoned perfectly, maybe had even been brined. Tender to the point I didn't need a knife. The star of the show was the demiglaze. Literally the best I have ever had. So good that I asked the chef if he made it himself. I was disappointed to find out the answer was yes. I was hoping it was something that I could procure from some specialty shop. But no. Only a chef with extreme pride in the craft would go to all the effort to make a demiglaze like that. That same pride echoed throughout the plate. The mashed potatoes as included. Not too rich or fat laddened, yet full of flavor and a perfect accompaniment to the veggies and the steak. We ended up having an apple crisp for dessert. It came straight from the oven with a big scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. It gilded the lily. Everything was amazing. And, I got a small amount of demiglaze to go. In the end, I found the specialty shop I was looking for. ?"

"The food here is excellent! The mashed potatoes and the steak were amazing along with the brussels sprouts. Two of the biggest turn offs however are the prices and the service. Although our server was somewhat attentive, he brought me the incorrect steak dish I ordered. I ordered the filet and he brought me the ribeye. Ribeyes are normally way more fatty so I could only eat half of it and take a quarter of the rest of it home. He did not take correct the mistake when the bill came I had to remind him to adjust it when paying. Also, they were out of all Chardonnay by 6:00 on a Saturday night. Even though the food was absolutely amazing, the ambience and the lack of professionalism in our server doesn’t justify the prices in my opinion. We also paid the bill using some kind of device and the only options were 15 or 20% or no tip. It was a bit confusing to use and we never got a receipt. A lady manager came to check on us and when we explained what had happened with the mixup in the entree, she did nothing about it and never came back over to follow up. Considering this was bw 5:30 and 7:00 on a Saturday night and we were maybe one of two tables in the entire place, you’d think the staff would be more attentive and willing to please? There are so many excellent restaurants in the area including ones that definitely charge less for their food, provide better quality service and a much better atmosphere that I don’t know if this place will stay open for long. I may go back however in the near future only because they have an open mic night on Wednesday nights and that seems like a lot of fun. I feel like if a restaurant calls themselves a “bar and grill,” the prices should reflect that more. The ambience definitely does but a $60 lobster entree and a $45 ribeye do not."
