Our waiter was on point, knowledgeable and funny. He really added to the experience. The food was excellent. I was surprised with how much I enjoyed the empanadas. I ordered a salad for myself but it was anything but basic. The tuna was divine and the pasta was delicious. Portion sizes are huge so I feel like that justifies the price point. Also, they do a table side pasta service/show where they toss the pasta in the cheese wheel for the cacio e pepe I believe. I got a video of it but can't find it on my phone! Parking was across the street and easy for me even on a fairly busy weekend.

Normally we would have had a bottle of wine but given that we had these excellent bar tenders we tried their drinks. We both had the Teres Major steak. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare, as requested. Neither of us liked the overly salty sauce covering it, but otherwise it was good. The potatoes accompanying it were excellent. Service was superb. Our waitress was attentive, pleasant, and hard working. We probably will try it again. Especially the SpeakEasy.

The ribeye was perfectly cooked, but very under-seasoned or not at all. I've never had to add salt to my steak at a restaurant. Asparagus garnish was crunchy and plain. Fries were fresh and crispy. Also tried the chicken tenders (crunchy, juicy, and delicious!) and Scottsdale chicken (juicy, tender, flavorful). Ribs were overcooked.

We were a party of four ladies. We waited in the outer area as the hostess area was full. Once my friend was buzzed on her phone we were quickly seated on the far side of the restaurant in a booth. The decor is looking tired and some of the wall was peeling away. Handrails need painting. Our server was very friendly and chatty. She took our drink/ water request. This seemed to take a while? Then she took our Entree orders but again very chatty and we were all hungry but were polite and waited for her to finish her story! she finally left to put our order in. After a while we got our food. Two Sedona Salads, Tenderloin Steak with sweet potato fries and a Salmon with sweet potato fries. They do give you generous portions of fries. Salmon was good but small. Tenderloin looked good ( don't know how much it was as it said market price on the menu) My friend and I had the Sedona salad but changed the dressing to blue cheese and asked for extra on the side. The chicken didn't looked like a grilled piece of chicken but thick sliced deli meat that was cold.! Now this is the strange part to me. We had only taken a few bites of our meal when the server came back with our checks?? Whats the rush???!! She hoped we had enjoyed our meal and heres your checks..... would you like dessert???

This is Southern charm dressed to the nines--warm wood, timeworn brick, and sturdy stone setting the scene like an old family estate that's been quietly upgraded with excellent taste. Soft, modern lighting glows just right, flattering every face and cocktail, while crisp white tablecloths snap to attention, ready for a night that knows how to behave. As the night thickens and the room fills, the staff moves with a kind of practiced urgency--polished, purposeful, and quietly electric. Servers weave between tables like dancers who know the floor by heart, arms balanced with trays, eyes always scanning, always anticipating. And yet, in the middle of that rising tempo, there's a moment where you have to gently tap the brakes. Our server, swept up in the rhythm of the rush is ready to sprint us through the evening, but a friendly smile and a soft word slow the pace, reminding everyone that while the house may be buzzing, our table is here to linger, more bread please! The evening begins with a little bit of drama--in the very best way--with a sizzling Saganaki arriving at the table like a proper grand entrance. The skillet still crackles, the cheese golden and bubbling, sending up a rich, savory aroma that turns heads and quiets conversation, every bite is a perfect balance of salty, creamy, and bold. Next comes the truffle pappardelle, wide ribbons of pasta lounging on the plate like they know they're the main character. The truffle aroma shows up first--earthy and indulgent--followed by tender, juicy chicken that's been flirted with chimichurri, adding a fresh, herby sass that keeps things from getting too serious. It's a pairing that shouldn't work this well but absolutely does. That said, the dish arrives shy of piping hot, and the plate itself seems to have missed the warm-up. The flavors are all there, showing good intentions and solid execution, but you find yourself wishing the temperature had matched the confidence of the ingredients. Upscale Southern charm with bold flavors, lively energy, and a pace that's best savored slow. Cheers!

We were here for a birthday dinner, and we could not have asked for better service or food. I've never felt so well taken care of by wait staff. There were 10 of us and there were at least 4 servers who were constantly bringing food, refilling drinks, and even wiping crumbs off the tablecloth. They were gracious to a fault, and by the end of the meal the owner, Rick Erwin himself, stopped by to say hello and ask if we enjoyed the meal. The food was delicious. I had surf and turf and it was the best filet mignon I've ever eaten. Of course they suggested the truffle butter on top, and even though it was an additional $9 I got it. Divine! The bread basket was filled with a variety of amazing rolls. And the crème brûlée was excellent. If you have a special occasion to celebrate I strongly recommend this restaurant. Just be ready to spend at least $75 per person f you're getting cocktails and dessert.

They started us off with a prosecco shot on the house, which was a nice welcome. For starters, the whipped ricotta and goat cheese was a standout. It even won over my daughter, who said, "I've had goat cheese before but this is the first time I've liked it." For my main I had the Garlic Chicken. Creamy, rich, and perfectly done. It hit every note I wanted. The rest of the table worked through the Honey Garlic Shrimp, the Milanese, and the Lemon Basil Pesto, and everyone was happy. For dessert, the Dessert du Jour was a limoncello cake that my daughter absolutely loved, and my other daughter was stuffed but somehow still found room for the Cannoli from the Cannoli hole. Our server Taryn made the whole evening. Attentive, friendly, and on top of everything without ever rushing us. We will absolutely be back. Especially for Lasagna Sunday. 5 stars.

We have our regular order, dozen oysters and the shrimp po boy, so when our server Alex came over, we just asked for those items without looking at the menu. A few moments later, Alex came over apologized and said they just switched to the spring menu and the Po Boy has been swapped out. We were disappointed but didn't think too much of and replaced the Po Boy with more oysters. The GM came over and said the Kitchen Manager heard our situation, had the ingredients to make the sammich and wanted to make it for us. We thanked her but declined their offer. It really wasn't a big deal to us. When Alex brought our oysters, she again asked if we wanted the Po Boy and this time we relented and got the sammich. It was a good decision. It was awesome. The service went above and beyond and that's why we'll keep going back.
