Chicken strips
Jacob S.

Have been to this establishment before, but at a different location. You absolutely cannot go wrong with the chicken strips. This portion size is huge! Great flavor, crisp tenders juicy chicken. The Mac n cheese was awesome! Overall nice interior, great service. We had a bit of a wait, but it was to be expected for a Saturday evening in Easton.

DEVILED EGGS

We ordered a chicken pasta soup & it was salty. Almost tasted like it was 1-2 days old. Ordered Maui steaks, filet mignon, & a burger, all cooked medium...all were overcooked. Ordered steak egg rolls, but they never were served. Salad was good! Deviled eggs were bland. We've eaten a this establishment on numerous occasions, but never experienced this kind of thing. Spoke with a manager that couldn't care less! She should've refunded us for the food we didn't eat, but she didn't! Horrible experience! Won't ever return!

Great experience from start to finish. Service was excellent -- our waiter struck that perfect…read morebalance of being friendly and professional. We started with the king crab brûlée, which was as good as it sounds -- rich, a little indulgent, and gone faster than we planned. The Wagyu flight was outstanding across the board, but the Japanese A5 was on another level entirely-- borderline unfair to the rest of the plate. Sides don't always get the spotlight, but the creamed spinach absolutely deserves it. If all vegetables tasted like that, I'd have made better life choices years ago. The potatoes Anna were also excellent --crispy, buttery, and exactly what you want them to be. Dessert sealed the deal. The honey butter cake was fantastic -- warm, rich, and worth saving room for (even if you think you don't have any left). My only "complaint," if you can call it that, is I was hoping to see a bananas foster on the menu -- but I'll survive. Overall, a great meal, great atmosphere, and a place we'll definitely be back to.

Stopped in after work -- this spot has been on my list for a while. The interior aesthetics are…read morestunning. It definitely gives upscale date night or girls' night energy. Parking is pretty much nonexistent, but valet is available. When we arrived around 4 p.m., the crowd was light, but it filled up quickly. They also offer private dining rooms, which is a nice touch for special occasions. The lighting is on the dim side -- but in a sexy, intentional way that adds to the vibe. I ordered the scallops and a chopped salad, plus a couple of espresso martinis (can't remember the exact name on the menu). My friend had the Caesar salad and cheesecake. The scallops were unexpectedly beautiful -- presented on a bed of sea salt with a creamy, cheesy accompaniment around the perimeter. The flavors were well-balanced, and the presentation elevated the dish. The wedge salad dressing was flavorful without being overpowering. It's definitely on the pricier side, but worth the experience if you're looking to treat yourself and enjoy the ambiance.

You need to order a martini when you come here; they have my favorite espresso martini in the city! Every dish is prepared & cooked to perfection; and are very fitting portions for a proper steakhouse. The red velvet cake truly is colossal & can feed your whole table! It's incredibly decadent & is the best way to end a great experience. The steaks are the star of the show, and taste incredible! They have a beautiful porterhouse, & the steak kosar is my personal favorite!

REVIEW BY: Avila.Eats on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube…read more Service: staff were friendly and very talkative. A little pushy and dismissive of boundaries. Concerns of food were not taken seriously. Ambiance/Atmosphere: dimly lit, fairly quite setting. A little darker than you'd want. Food: 1. Pretzel bread is soft and has a strong pretzel flavor. Well salted. 6.5 2. Steak tressel was well cooked medium. The garlic added a beautiful back end flavor and the mushrooms were soft and well salted. The crusting on the steak was well done. Steak was tender and well seasoned. 7 3. Gruyere gratin is soft and had a subtle but tasteable seasoning. The cheese sauce was watered and tasted mostly like butter. The flavor was very weak. 3.5. I asked for extra cheese sauce to help and although it brings it up to a 4. It was still quite weak in flavor. 4. HP burger is nicely charred and well seasoned. Tender. The HP sauce is fatty and smooth with a nice flavor. Bun is slightly sweet and airy. 7.25 5. Deconstructed smore is warm, rich, and smooth. All elements blend beautifully into a molten rich brownie lava cake. The marshmallow fluff is smooth and creamy. Graham crackers add a nice crunch. 7.25 6. Banana foster butter cake was warm, soft and buttery. Bananas add a great flavor and the warm butter cake pairs beautifully with the vanilla ice cream. Cold and warm combo is delicious. The alcohol didn't fully burn off and you get a subtle taste with the slight burn. Honestly not mad at it. 6

The Caesar salad was very lightly dressed, and the steak was not prepared as ordered. The lamb chops were quite fatty. Nothing we ate was more than average in taste. Our server was very pleasant and attentive, but seemed to have limited wine experience. We ordered a 2018 bottle of wine, but a 2020 was opened and poured before we realized the difference and asked. We were told afterward that the 2018 was not available (& the manager knew this), which would have been helpful to know in advance so we could choose another bottle. We've always associated this restaurant with a higher standard and were surprised by the overall experience. Afterward, we realized ownership has changed, no longer owned by Cameron Mitchell, which may explain the difference. Spent over $350 for the meal, will not return.

From the moment we arrived, the evening was filled with warmth and thoughtful surprises. Reservations are a must, but Stephanie at the bar made the wait delightful with her cheerful smiles and welcoming energy. A quick cocktail later, we were informed our table was ready. The highlight of the night? Grace, my favorite person at the restaurant, made a grand entrance with a half-dozen roses--delivered as requested to surprise my lovely wife. It was such a sweet touch that made me look like a hero! Once we were seated, Matt came by with two Champagne glasses and a bottle of top-shelf bubbly to toast the occasion. Talk about starting the night off right! The surprises didn't stop there--our first appetizer was on Grace, which was such a generous gesture. Then came the main courses: a perfectly cooked filet for my wife and delicious scallops for me. Every bite was divine, and I savored every single scallop. It was an unforgettable evening filled with exceptional service, delicious food, and thoughtful touches that made our anniversary so special. Cheers to nights like these!

Everything, from checking in, to coat check, to Aaron-my server, to food quality, to Grant-the manager, was exceptional. You could order from the regular menu or their Thanksgiving prix fixe. I ordered the Tday meal. The Turkey was so tender. I don't normally eat gravy, but the gravy was very good. Had the crabmeat appetizer and it was very good as well. There were diners at other tables who saw mine and added it to their orders. I was surprised that it was so crowded/evidently a lot of people choose to go out on TDay. Despite the crowd, only a couple of glitches, which they handled very professionally. I will definitely return for a traditional steak dinner. As an added bonus, they donate to a local food pantry where I volunteer. Great food and a commitment to caring for others? I'll definitely return.

Drinks - my husband had a CBC IPA and I had a Spritzer. Appetizer - we went with the whipped ricotta. This was absolutely delish! The whipped ricotta was creamy, smooth, had a lemony flavor with celery leaves and parsley. Seriously, all of the flavors blended so well together! It was also topped with black truffle and honey (from a local vendor)! The sourdough bread that the whipped ricotta was served with was super fresh and warm (and from a local vendor as well)! Salad - we ordered a Caesar salad as well. I thought that it was super nice that they plated the salad on two plates for us knowing that we were splitting it! Super thoughtful! The romaine was crispy (not soggy), the croutons were freshly made, the dressing had the anchovy flavor that I appreciate in a good Caesar dressing, and the salad was topped with a little lemon zest! I will definitely return just for the Caesar salad! Meals - I went with the Rigatoni and my husband went with the Lasagna. We were informed by our server that the flour used for the pasta is imported from Italy and that the pasta is made fresh daily - LOVE this! The rigatoni was SO good! I love that the pasta and shrimp were all cut into smaller bites! The sauce was absolutely delicious! The flavor was like a mix between a thick tomato bisque and curry! Yum! My husband really enjoyed the lasagna as well! The lasagna was plated into little roll-ups which my husband really liked!

Thqt surprised me - thats 3 chicken breast at the store lol Each time I have sat at the bar - both inside and out (even in winter). Great ambiance. I love the bar inside - gives an upscale 50s diner with great design and mood. The outdoor bar in winter is very nice and warm - haven't had trouble grabbing a seat at either. Bartenders are nice, very attentive and knowledgeable. Parking is easy, there is valet offered. Overall - a bit over priced for generally good food, but a pleasant night out for date night or girls night out.
