The fire was going, which I found interesting considering it was a warm day. Im assuming for ambiance. Our waitress was ok, soft spoken and not the most outgoing. She seemed like she had something on her mind. Tonight was martini Monday, so had the pineapple martini and it was a little sweet but delicious. I would definitely get this one again. Tried the dirty martini, but tasted more like an extra dirty... Not my fav but still good. Our group ordered several apps to go with the drinks. Everything was amazing. I always find the food good, but the waiters/waitresses not totally with it. The runners have more personality.

I have never tried to eat there without a reservation. It is always packed. I did not take a single pic but we had the gulf crab claws in lemon butter sauce. These were the most amazing crab claws i have ever had. It came with 2 pieces of bread thank goodness bc i needed it to get all the lemon sauce. Pricey- yes. Worth every penny-yes! We shared an entree short rib entree and added a side of mac and cheese and scalloped potatoes. There was not even a crumb left. I didn't even need a knife for the short ribs. My tip is to go early. I'm sure the other food is good too, but the best stuff sells out.

We know how hard folks in the business work. Even though it would affect his income negatively, our server was a real professional. I notice things like that. I tipped 35%+.

We had often skipped coming in because it was 'always busy,' but I'm glad we finally did, and I will certainly come back again.

So a little under-dressed, haha. The restaurant has two sides, I am thinking maybe non-smoking on one side and smoking on the side with the bar? Not sure, but I did smell smoke when walking in on the bar side, but we sat on the other side and it was perfectly fine/smoke-free. Dejean was our server and we would be happy to have him again. He was friendly, efficient, and attentive but not overtly so. We ended up having ribeye with onion tangles and sweet potato, NY strip with baked potato and grilled vegetables, and cheesecake with fresh strawberry preserve. Everything was tasty actually and exceeded my expectations, to be honest. I will say the seasoning on the steak and grilled vegetables were rather heavy-handed, so if you like things lightly seasoned, you may want to mention that. Their cheesecake is better than Cheesecake Factory's to my preference. Definitely give that a try! Dejean also mentioned that they have brunch every last Sunday of the month and the menu sounds yummy. We do plan to try that out in the near future. Thanks to Dejean for making our first experience here a memorable one and we will be back because of that!

The good: they have a parking lot with a decent number of spots and a very nice covered patio with…read morelots of TVs. Oh and they have several NA beer options that aren't badly priced. The not good: the service. We had 2 servers on a Sunday afternoon. The first was very good. The second was non existent. The manager had to come take our orders and refill water. The menu has limited vegetarian options - extremely limited. I got the quesadilla and asked them to hold the meat. But it was insanely filled with cheese like to the point I thought I was going to choke on a blob of cheese. Just not a place to come if you're hungry and don't eat meat. I'd come back for a beer and to watch a game. But I wouldn't plan to eat here. A veggie burger option would go a long way here.

The staff were all very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is very nice with indoor and outdoor seating. We all were very impressed with our meals. We got the chicken tenders, blackened fish sandwich, the club sandwich and wings as a main. Also got an order of mozzarella sticks. All were amazing with the only one negative is the wings were not very crispy but still very tasty. Would definitely go back.

Farrelleys for my birthday dinner!!…read more We've been here several times and have never been disappointed! They have an amazing happy hour from 4-6. I got a marg ($8) and the baked pimento cheese dip to start - served with pita. ($7) I loved my pan seared scallops with grits and broccolini. The cranberry bacon "jam" really adds so much flavor and create the perfect bite when you add all components together. ($34) Dad and David got the meatloaf and loved. It comes with house made BBQ, potatoes and broccolini. ($28) Perfect for when you want to go to an upscale meal but still have to make your man happy - this is literally a "meat and potatoes" dish. Mom got the Paneed chicken with brown butter sauce, mashed potatoes and spinach. She had no complaints! ($28) Service was very friendly and parking was no issue at all! This is a perfect place for a big group because there's something for everyone. It's casual, comfortable but still feels on the upscale side of things. We will be back!

With our other food, we came close but were unable to finish it! We also got a small charcuterie tray sampler - grilled bread, meat & cheese, nuts, and some grilled asparagus - very tasty. We had ordered the truffle pizza - truly one of the best pizzas I've ever had - but were so full, we ended up getting it to go and ate it the next day. I look forward to coming back soon.

It appears that different restaurants have a different take on a Paloma. I enjoy the one from a restaurant here in MO. This one was pretty much, straight grapefruit juice and alcohol with bitter wine added. I asked for a shot of grenadine to help with the bitterness. Nkt much help but, I drank it. Hubs haf some kind of beer, the kids had lemonade. For meals, I had fish and chips, hubs had the ribs, the teen had pizza, and the toddler had chicken stripe. I have to stop ordering fish and chips from places. I barely ate any (fish seemed not fully cooked). The toddler wasnt feeling well and went to sleep. The teen said his pizza was ok,but he didn't eat it all which is unusual for him. Hubs said the same about his ribs. Once we got back to the hotel, the fish and chips made an appearance, up and out. I really think the fish was undercooked. Maybe it was an off day. When in the area again, I probably won't be back.

Hubby asked for something they didn't have but the bartender said he could make him something similar. He didn't like it. Service at the bar was underwhelming. Wanted an app and another drink but the gentleman that waited on us never returned. Our bill was provided with our drinks so I guess he decided we'd had enough. Dinner at our table was excellent. Our server, Solomon, was fabulous! My husband's filet was cooked perfectly. The lobster bisque was fantastic. I noticed in my last review that they brought me the wrong drink. This time they brought my husband the wrong drink. Not sure why they have a problem with that. My other issue is that they don't allow substitutions even if you have an allergy. Pretty ridiculous for what they are charging. I love the atmosphere in here. Great place to go with friends. It was super busy on a Saturday night. Make reservations!

Bar was nice with 4 large TV's and nice beer and liquor selection. We opted to do the $15 flight. You get 4-1oz pours of select whiskeys. The bowman port barrel was my favorite (smooth and with good taste). The least favorite was knob creek 12 year. Was not near as smooth for a 12 year whiskey (surprised). It will out some hair on your chest! Pretzels were my favorite appetizer. It was hot and salty! Pretzels were served with beer cheese in a cast iron dish (love). The pretzels were soft and buttery. No complaints. I will knock them for this dip trio though. That salsa tasted canned from the store and not a fan of the buffalo chicken dip. Queso dip and tortilla chips were great though! Service was excellent!

After being seated in the bar area, we were informed by our server that only appetizers were available. This was both confusing and disappointing, as it does not align with reasonable expectations for a restaurant still open for regular business. If the kitchen is no longer able or willing to prepare full menu items well before closing, that policy should be clearly communicated--either through adjusted hours or by informing guests upon arrival. Otherwise, it creates the impression of inconsistent operations or a lack of coordination between management and staff. Situations like this suggest a need for clearer operational standards, better communication, and stronger staff alignment with customer service expectations. Guests should not feel discouraged from dining simply because they arrive within what should be standard service hours. Overall, the experience reflects an opportunity for improvement in both management practices and customer hospitality.
