    Yummy dessert.

    Fantastic Italian. Great ambience. This place has been a staple for years in CG. My smokin hot date approved.

    Old Fashion is delicious. Food, service, and ambiance very nice. Seared tuna is delicious

    Seafood Mac & Cheese

    My second time and here and both have been a great experience. First time I went on a date and our server Miles was personable and not like a robot which I love as a former server. The second time I my server at the bar was Tyler and again, great conversation. I could go on and on about service before I even get to speaking on the food. The first time I had the meatballs and crab cakes as apps and both were pretty good. The crab cake isn't like that Maryland style lump crab cake but all in all I'd definitely order again. First time around I got the Australian Wagyu which, as an avid steak eater, was cool to perfection with a good price point. My gf got the seafood mac which is what I got my second time around. They definitely did not skimp out on the seafood or flavor in this super rich and decadent dish. Even though I'm only visiting Cape Girardeau, if I'm ever passing through I'd definitely stop by again.

    Our waiter was great, and he definitely knew what he was doing. He was very knowledgeable about the foods and drinks offered. We loved the darker, fancier vibes for this kind of meal. The food was delicious. We went at 5:30 on a Saturday and the restaurant was not full then but by the time we left it was full. The owners are awesome people and very talented at what they do!

    Service is great. Food is great, especially the Italian…read moremeat sandwich! Beer selection very good as well.

    Oh boy, where to start. I guess I'll begin with the positive things about this place; the…read morebartenders/servers (they're the same people) are friendly...and that's pretty much it. There are QR codes on the bar for the beer menu. It isn't accurate, they're out of several. I was told by a staff member (again, it's hard to tell who fills what role so I'll just call them staff members from here on) that they are "locked out" of that account so I should check the board behind the bar. The board lists the flavor and usually the type of beer. It does not list the manufacturer or really any other details. At this point I ordered a beer and the chicken nachos. I received the beer promptly. I finished that one, then another. Still no nachos. After an hour+ and 3 beers, I cashed out and left. At least they never tried to charge me for the nachos. I witnessed numerous dishes returned to the kitchen. There were 2, sometimes 3 staff members for the entire bar and dining room. All were friendly but seemed inexperienced. I witnessed at least 2 on their phones at some point. Last but not least, the atmosphere. The place could be really amazing. When I was there, the bar was sticky. 3 of the lights above the bar were burned out and the fixtures, obviously intended for old looking filament bulbs had bright LEDs installed giving the ambiance of a hospital waiting room. The recessed can style lighting in the rest of the establishment wasn't much better. The stools at the bar are seriously worn. It's almost worth visiting for the spectacle...almost. Update: they did charge me for the nachos. I misread the receipt that night.
