We came here to celebrate our anniversary! The food was absolutely delicious, though definitely on the expensive side. However, the service felt a little off. It’s hard to explain, but when the server found out we were celebrating three years of dating (not married), their reaction felt a bit dismissive — kind of like an “oh.”
Since we’re still young, it also felt like we were being treated more like broke college students rather than with the same level of professionalism other tables seemed to get.

This place is definitely the go to for special events or celebrations. The chefs menu switches around and the original menu is incredible. I don’t come as often but my family are regulars. We always have a great experience when it comes to service, and let’s just say we have never been able to make it to dessert. If you have never been here it is definitely worth ordering the table side cesar salad. We also recommend the bacon wrapped dates stuffed with cheese, those are brutal!! All in all, great food, great atmosphere, and great service.

Went for a special occasion. Located in downtown but has plenty of parking available around it. Yes it’s expensive but it’s worth it. Not a corporate owned facility. Everything was excellent. Exceptional actually. Well with it and so glad this is where we went for such an occasion. Top notch. Best of the best.

Booked the captains table for our anniversary over a year ago. We got there for and they gave away our table to someone else after we already had it reserved for a year and the guy just said I’m sorry, I didn’t look at the note. We even have the confirmation of the reservation in our email and fr the server a couple weeks ago to confirm. We don’t get dressed up and pay $300 to sit at the common walk in tables in a crowded area due to their own negligence. Won’t be back, looking for a new expensive restaurant.

We’ve been many times. The last few times were disappointing. Tonight it took 30+ mins to get a glass of wine. The wagyu steak was not comparable to other wagyu steak I’ve had. The service was not even mediocre. If we decide to go back we will only go back to sit at the bar. When we had to box up our own food for the first time ever, this was an example how the entire experience was. So disappointing to not be able to support local. Next time we will go someplace with the food and service we are paying for

From the second we stepped inside to the second we left; we were amazed. Everything from the decor to the staff was impeccable.
Our waitress Jordan was extremely friendly and attentive. Our glasses were always full and she consistently checked in on us. Couldn’t have asked for better service.
Upon being served our steak we were asked to check the middle and it couldn’t have been cooked better to our standards. The Oscar addition to the steak was absolutely amazing. They had a pumpkin praline cheesecake for the season and it was heavenly. The whole staff was so helpful and pleasant.
We were celebrating our 4 year anniversary and we received two cupcakes with a sparkler and a wonderful woman with the most beautiful singing voice sang us a song. They offered to take a photo afterwards for us as well.
The bread they bring to the table is so wonderful. The salad was delicious. The homemade Mac and cheese is hands down the best.
Every thing was wonderful! Worth the price all of the way. 100% recommend you go here!

So my family went here for Valentines day. We had reservations for 8pm. We had to wait about 15 mins for our table not a big deal. We got set the nice lady bring water around to tables was there almost as soon as we sat down. However it did take roughly 15 mins before our waitress came to us. So we are roughly 30 mins in to our dinning experience. Took another 15 mins for her to come back to take orders. After we order we got bread which was amazing and our salads pretty quick.about 9:30 our meals came out. Between the four of us there was 3 steaks and 1 salmon. The salmon was terrible as I tried a small bite of it. Now to the steaks. 2 steaks were order medium. 1 steak came out perfectly which was my wifes. The bite I had was 10 out of 10. The second was get real close to well done but our friend said it was very tasty. My steak ordered mid rare. When I cut in to this steak it was way over cooked I mean it seemed like it hit well done then ran through the pan for another round of cooking. My ribeye had ZERO flavor. I didn’t ask for another because they closed at 10 and Im not waiting another 40 mins to get a steak. Ill give them one more chance but im ordering the sirloin steak like my wife did.

We come here every year for our anniversary, and we reserve the captain’s table. We had reservations for 6pm and they gave our table away. We was even there 20 mins early. Def want to cry its our anniversary and it was reserved a year ago the guy said he over looked the notes on the computer. Now we are waiting on a booth so disappointed. The booth we had was so uncomfortable and the whole evening was ruined the food I only took 3 bites of the whole evening just ruined from the time we got in. They took some money off but still spent 148 even with that. I even showed them the reservations we had on the email.

Nicest and best restaurant in Lima, but looks better than it is. The steaks I’ve had are underwhelming, but everything else, particularly the soups, were pretty good. The seasonal ice cream I had tasted like it was purchased from the store. However, the service is top-notch. all the servers and hostesses are fantastic.

This classy joint is a local dime, in my opinion. I thought that the food was very good. Good flavor, and fresh ingredients are definitely prominent. The wine selection was very good too.
Two stars off for service. I did not like how I had a 7:30 reservation, made TWO days before, and wasn’t sat down until about 8:20. Overbooking was a problem here. I would not come back on a Saturday night because of this.
I also felt that the waitress’ workload was too much. She did a good job with us, but was rushing and felt very flustered. She should have slowed down a bit, but I understand the situation she was in.
I plan on coming back, but not at the time that I did. I think that for as long they have been in business, they should have a better reservation system.
