He gave great recommendations and was super knowledgeable. I'm a bartender at a similar restaurant in town, and all the little details about service that I feel like go unnoticed by most guests were executed perfectly. Give that man a raise! Ambiance: we had reservations for the patio and I was a little worried the heat would be too much but they have a bunch of ceiling fans, and it's pretty well shaded. The plants were gorgeous! Food: you can't go wrong with anything on this menu. Every single dish was delicious. The highlights for me were probably the truffle spaghetti and focaccia!

The atmosphere was beautiful, with tasteful decor and a great music selection, so I was really…read morehoping for a better experience for my birthday dinner. Unfortunately, the food and overall dining experience fell short. We were seated near the kitchen, and the conversations coming from staff were extremely loud throughout the evening. Our server was kind, but she seemed unfamiliar with the menu. She even agreed that the $23 crab cake appetizer was overpriced and appeared to be missing a crab cake. The crab cake itself was extremely salty and fried so hard that it left an unpleasant aftertaste. Later, the server brought out a second crab cake, which we assumed was the missing portion, but we were then charged an additional $16 for it. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal was just okay at best. My steak was cooked correctly internally, but the outside was overly charred to the point that it affected the flavor. The broccolini was burnt and extremely salty, so we sent it back immediately. The potatoes were also overly salty, watery, and lacked the onion flavor described on the menu. Overall, the menu descriptions simply did not match the dishes that were brought to our table. I will say the espresso martini was honestly the best part of the evening. Also, the evening manager, whose name I believe was Kensley, did bring out a butter cake as an apology, which was appreciated. For a birthday celebration and the prices charged, the experience was disappointing overall.

First I ordered an Old Fashion. While I didn't explicitly name the Old Fashion on the cocktail menu I received the drink with many ice cubes. When I questioned she said that since I didn't order the one of the menu they use scooped ice, The true disappointment came when my drink was priced above the one on the menu. I ordered. While enjoying my crab bisque which was delightful I heard the bar tender share the special of the evening which included a salad, a 6oz. filet, petite lobster tail, mashed potatoes and asparagus, I subsequently asked about the special and canceled my original entree which was $28 more, no salad and no potatoes. I absolutely enjoyed my food and the ambiance not sure I had the best beautifully dressed server,

It was sweet and acidic while also slightly rich because of the pig fat. The meat in it was a little tough and was a little unpleasant to chew when i got a big clump of it. I would recommend trying the food here. For service, at the start my server got my order and everything in pretty quick so no complaints. After he took my order, i did not see him at all during my entire meal. At the end, it took 20 min for me to get my check and pay. I saw my server standing there talking with his coworker for the entire period while i was waiting for him to come by for the check. Even after i got the bill, it took another 10 min for them to take it and cash me out because they were chatting with each other. I shouldn't even have tipped because all he did was give me a water and take my order, he didn't even bring the food or check in with me. Overall i think the restaurant is a 4/5, but my service experience brought it down a star.

Parking is also easy and convenient, with a garage right across the street, as well as their own lot and additional street parking. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great meal and an even better experience.

Both were friendly & acknowledged the birthday girl in our party. Atmosphere is great. You could comfortably walk in wearing jeans or come dressed up. Neither would be over or under dressed. The menu has juuuust the right amount of options, which is great! Heather was our waitress & while she was kind, her service skills were lacking. Granted we weren't at a Michelin Star Restaurant, but we also weren't at a dive bar. There was an endless amount of awkward reaching through, over & around when refilling drinks. There were a couple of instances where she actually touched our shoulders to nudge us to the side so she could reach through. Totally not okay during service at a restaurant nicer than a dive bar. We ordered the cheese sticks starter which were so yummy! Highly recommend! A couple of us ordered the Cesar side salad & were highly disappointed. The dressing tasted like it was mayonnaise heavy & then watered down by lettuce that wasn't dried after being rinsed. Even adding tons of extra pepper didn't help. The lettuce also tasted like it has been too wet for too long. The lobster mac was ordered in the group & it was tasty but soooo greasy. So, order with caution. We had the Black N Bleu salad in the group & that was good. The Atlantic Salmon was another dinner ordered & the crust seasoning was delicious! Sadly, the salmon was a bit overdone. It does come with a lobster cream sauce, which confused me. It was only so so & I definitely skipped it entirely. The steamed broccoli was done to perfection though. Not soggy & not too crunchy. We also had the 12oz ribeye & that was great! Flavorful, cooked perfectly! I will add though, that the steak knives need an upgrade. I really wanted to love this place, but we won't return on our next trip to Newport/Cincinnati.

Then we had the beet salad Red & Golden beets thinly sliced with fresh herbs and goat cheese. A lot of thought went into making this dish perfect thank you chef My lady ordered the filet and I had the 14oz Choice Strip Steak. Both incredibly tender and served with a variety of sauces. Bone broth, chimichurri, and herb butter. All the sauces were fabulous with me, preferring the bone broth. Our side dish of roasted herbs brussels sprouts, and cauliflower in balsamic glaze, very tasty. We did the big finish with a large slice of delicious carrot cake. The host and the manager Mark came by and checked out on us to make sure everything was perfect, our server Devon made sure everything was perfect & treated us like royalty. Definitely a five star experience

(I will be booking this option from now on.) I ordered the surf and turf seasonal option with lobster and filet mignon cooked medium. I was surprised when a sea scallop I didn't order and a small glass of wine spritzer popped up but this is part of the chefs table experience - it was a sea scallop grilled with a chimichurri sauce and some crispy prosciutto. I would have never ordered this on my own so it was nice to try. I am a not a huge seafood person - the minute I cut into it I smelled the sea which was a turn off and I wasn't a fan of the texture but once I cut into tiny pieces and mixed with the sauce and the proscuitto I was able to actually find myself enjoying the dish plus boy did it look pretty coming out! The chefs table is nice because you get to watch everything be cooked - the mac and cheese looks amazing every single time - omg I must try it sometime. My waitress was phenomenal with purple and blue hair and the glittery eye shadow. She was so attentive and helpful. The steak was so juicy and cooked perfectly - I think next time I would get a larger steak or the grilled shrimp option as I wasn't the biggest fan of the lobster tail but still finished it. The salad was okay - I wish it had ranch instead. I also got the orange cream cloud for dessert to go which was shockingly light, airy and delicious - the citrus flavors with the passion fruit are so refreshing. I can't wait to come back and try something new . The place is beautifully decorated and they offer free parking options - the music is very low so you can have a conversation and even the chefs table wasn't too loud even though it was right next to the kitchen.
