    Food was delicious! Our waiter Billy was knowledgable of the…read moremenu & wines, he was attentive and accommodating. The restaurant was comfortable and nicely lit. Great experience!

    Walking into this place with the wife felt a bit like stepping into a game show where the host…read morespeaks at 3x speed and you're supposed to somehow keep up. The greeter/manager spoke to us so fast I'm still not sure what he said. Maybe he was warning us. Anyway we just nodded along, hoping we hadn't accidentally agreed to something sinister. I'll start by saying the little lady and I traveled down to this area to support the boy. He's irrelevant to the story other than to say, at one point, he was about 50 feet away from us and couldn't say hello. Who doesn't say hello? Anyway, the better half and I had a free night and decided to ask the front desk guy, at our local chateau, if he could recommend a place for good Italian food. Let's just say he's lucky he wasn't at the front desk when we got back. He would've received a good stern talking to. The place looks great and the bread was really good. This is the point in the story where it slowly descended into an experience that was comical if it weren't true. Actually, pretty funny. She ordered the shrimp scampi and I ordered the chicken parm. Orders come out, look great! Now we dig in. As I started to hack into the chicken, I didn't realize this was going to be the highlight. It was ok. You know when you're really hungry and anything is good? It was that level of good. The amount of pasta was tiny but whatever because the sauce was average too. That said, between the CEO of my household and I, we powered through my dish. Now you're probably thinking, "why is she assisting me with my meal when she has her own waiting for her?" Well, I'll explain. She started her scampi which had next to no garlic and stopped eating. She politely offered me a small piece and that's when I realized why she was ripping through my chicken parm. After a small bite, I rescinded my acceptance and returned the partially eaten piece to her plate. Now we're like, gosh darnit. Maybe we should have ordered something different or just asked for more bread instead. Here comes the greeter/manager...We weren't going to say anything but then he comes over and asks us what's wrong because only half of 1 shrimp was consumed. My domestic overlord is trying to be polite and won't say anything. Manager insists. I lower my voice so no one else can hear and just tell him it just wasn't great. When he asked what was wrong with it, I try to avoid saying it but he insists. Who am I to deny a man such a request? At that point I explain that the shrimp was rubbery (if you've ever wondered what it's like to chew on a rubber band that's been lightly buttered, look no further). When I mentioned the issue, we weren't looking for a freebie; we simply thought maybe--just maybe--he'd offer to swap it for something edible. Instead, the manager looked at us as if he had just witnessed us kicking puppies and got super defensive. Not kidding. My life supervisor and I started to chuckle because we couldn't understand the reaction. Not, "I'm so sorry, can I get you something different?" or "I'm so sorry I can have another made for you." Instead, he decides to educate us on how it's one of their best dishes and everyone loves it. "Everyone". I explain I've eaten shrimp scampi all my life and this one was not too good. It's not like we ate the dish. We ate half of 1 shrimp. He looks at me in disgust and say's "from here??" Of course not. Folks, after what I've just said, what could ever make me want to try it a second time? For those of you keeping score out there, having to saw through a piece of shrimp and then chewing on it like it's gum, just to break it down, doesn't scream "mmmmm, delicious". So now he's apoplectic and decides to comp the meal like he was doing us a grand favor, even after we explicitly said that wasn't what we were asking for. It felt like we were hosting an intervention and the guest of honor denies everything that's in front of him because he knows better than everyone else. I mean, I'm happy I didn't have to pay for it but just some acknowledgment that MAYBE it was just a bad day for shrimp scampi would have worked. Apparently that was too avant-garde. Moral to the story...if you ask for feedback and then insist on the specifics, don't then get all irate. Between the incomprehensible welcome, the rubbery seafood, and the gaslighting, it's a no for me, Chuck. And to those of you who think the scampi at this place is good, maybe rethink your life choices. By the way, the chicken parm was edible. 2 stars? Maybe 3 for the effort.

Because I'm starting this review at the beginning of the meal so I will be sure to document it as it progresses for your enjoyment dear reader. Well, some time has passed, and that lofty goal has already been abandoned. Because I devoured the bread service before I had a chance to take a picture of it. I've got to do better. The bread service is absolutely worth it. I do not know what is going on with that dipping sauce, but it is spicy and exquisite. I also did not take a picture of my Mojito but should have. It is a classic Mojito prepared exactly as I remember it from those long ago days in Puerto Rico, where I first sampled this sumptuous libation. Time has passed. Oh my God! The size of the steak! We came for tomahawk Tuesday tonight. That's when you can get an entire tomahawk steak for $109 instead of $139, which makes it about 30% more delicious. Anyway, in order to take a picture of this tomahawk steak I had to zoom out on my iPhone! Because they're just so big I could not fit it in the frame! I ordered mine medium rare and sliced for two, so my lady can share in the enjoyment. Perfection. No notes. The truffle fries are the best I've had anywhere. And they are abundant. A must have. I have to say, this has been one of the best meals of my life to rival Gibsons in Chicago. But what this location lacks in views it makes up for in every other way. Especially the service, which is top-notch. Oh, and did I mention they have complementary valet? This is starting to sound like I was paid to write this review. I was not. But I will gladly accept free Mojitos in the future. Should the right person happened to read this. For we will be back, and often.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. And the restaurant itself is lovely whether you're upstairs or downstairs it's nice. And there is an elevator if you need it to get upstairs.
