Our waitress was very helpful when ordering and offered recommendations and did a great job explaining the menu. Our food came out at a good pace too. We ordered the wild boar bolognese, the wagyu and Iberico burger, and the lemon cheesecake, and everything was great! I also got the Calabrian pepperoni pizza (not pictured) to go, which was basically like a spicy pepperoni pizza. SO tasty! Just wished it was a tad bit bigger for the price. (Cut into 4 slices) still would recommend ordering!

We had a reservation last night and I'm glad I made it (even had to made it for two weeks out to…read moreget the time I wanted). They did try to seat us in a booth immediately near the door (on a cold windy evening), directly on the other side were several boxes of wine likely for their wine wall, but didn't make for a nice look. I asked for a different spot, and they were happy to switch us out if we were willing to wait, and we were early for our reservation, so we didn't mind. We were seated at a table/long bench combo. I see this a lot at places like CK factory, Purple Pig, etc. I always feel like we're too close to our neighbors. We were given a few moments with our menus and then we ordered drinks and their bread with compound butter. I asked for help between two items and was encouraged to try the salmon, especially given I don't have luck with risotto in the area, and my husband ordered the burger. The bread and butter were delicious, I love the density and chew to the bread. My husband enjoyed his southern old fashioned, and my Moscow mule was ok, points off for no copper mug. We enjoyed looking around for all the nods to Ravens/dark elements. My husband said his burger was really good. He had no criticism, which means quite a lot actually. My salmon was phenomenal. It was my first time trying crispy salmon skin, and I'm glad I did. The risotto was so delicious. It was actually the first thing I finished. We were satisfied, and weren't tempted by any of the desserts. We're the type that can be enticed to take dessert to go if we see something delicious. I recommend photos of desserts or someway to display them. It was exciting to try a new restaurant for date night night, I think they're definitely worth stopping in.

The entire experience was pleasurable from the greeting, to the service, and especially the quality of the meal. We eat primarily vegetarian and the options provided us with a hearty meal. Of note were the grilled mushrooms and the Spring Tagliatelle. The beet purée was incredible. Our palates were then totally refreshed with a vegan chocolate-hazelnut gelato. The food is made on the premises from scratch and tastes like the food I enjoyed in Northern Italy. Grazie mille per l'eccellente esperienza culinaria!

The place is slightly split into two parts: one side for dining and another for the bar. They have a million beers on tap, and also have wine and a full bar. Servers are friendly and helpful! The menu is pretty simple, all American food. So if you're not into that you might want to look elsewhere. But the stuff they offer they do really well. The fish and chips are great and the nacho portions are huge. They also do burgers well too. We got the kids spaghetti and meatballs for our son and it was good but the meatballs were spicy which seemed like a weird choice. The warm cookie topped with cold ice cream is the perfect dessert choice to end the night!

Mediocre experience. Server was nice but inattentive to our table. Disappeared for lengthy time…read more Took 20 mins or more to get drinks. 10 mins before came to us to take order then another 10-15 mins to make 3 sodas and walk them 2 feet over to us. We were seated in the bar area. Bread sticks came out fresh, hot and were delicious. Well seasoned and perfectly cheesy . We were starving and inhaled them so fast I forgot to take a pic. Our order consisted of Spaghetti and Meatballs, BBQ Burger with tots and pizza with side cesear salad. The spaghetti came out look warm which was very disappointing. But it was very tasty and filling. Sauce was full of flavor and so were the HUGE meatballs. I can only imagine how much better it would have been hot. Would def order this again. The BBQ Burger was reported to be well cooked and yummy. It was also mildly warm when it came out. Tots were reported to be well seasoned and mildly warm also. Pizza was reported to be ok. It was also only warm. Son wasn't too impressed with it and he loves pizza.It looked very fake... like premade frozen pizza. He didn't eat but 2 small slices of it. Cesar salad was basic. Oddly enough the lettuce was warm instead of cold. So what I gather from all the temperature issues is that the food was made and sat out. That's disappointing. If it was brought out fresh I bet I could have given this a much higher rating. Refills were a struggle to get. She gave my husband and son 1 refill then never came back to check on us until it was time for the check. And again.. it was not even close to being busy. I counted 8 families in the whole place from time we arrived to time we left.

We all decided to go to Oscar's for a drink and food to keep the mood light. The bartender AUSTIN was rude and terrible, making comments like his day was better a few minutes before our group walked in. I asked for a burger with a double patty, he said it was fine and started to put my order in. I realized it was busy and didn't want to inconvenience them. I got his attention and nicely said "I'm actually going to just do a single Patty I'm sorry buddy." I got a response of "Oh my fucking god!" And then proceeds to rush to the kitchen and shove the kitchen door open. Austin terrible bartender. Austin terrible customer service. Austin should be fired. Austin should be fired.

Received a fully loaded potato with bacon when I ordered a potato with butter and sour cream. I don't eat pork. When I went to hand my plate over to the server to correct my order he literally took the potato of my plate instead of taking the whole plate. Bacon bits were still on my plate polluting my steak. I had to ask for a new steak and Received the same steak on another plate! Terrible. We will never visit their establishment again!!

This is the best steak dinner on the planet for the money, one of the best at any price!!…read more Bold statement? Yes... But the food backs it up! Small filet mignon 26 bucks, giant sirloin 20 bucks. This includes a great salad and a side, like a loaded baked potato. The steak has incredible taste. Somebody knows what they are doing. It all comes down to the seasoning. This chain is owned by the people that also own the tie high end Eddie V's. Very, very similar taste if you can believe it. I told our server how incredible the food was, and that I felt guilty loving it so much because I always try and support local businesses...... I asked her if the tips were really good because the food was so great and she said actually she gets stiffed every night by some people and how it drives some of new servers to tears at the end of the shift. On big tables when she gets stiffed, it actually costs her money to serve them because they automatically take 4% of her checks' totals based on sales for the other employees. Very depressing. I gave her 40% to make up for the losers that stiffed her. Help the servers out here when you eat, it's such a great deal you can afford to.... Super friendly atmosphere. Typical newer steak place decor.
