We started with their meatballs. The recipe is the owner's Nonna's recipe. So light and flavorful. Not the hard golf ball you find at a lot of places. The sauce was incredible. I told Mike I could eat an order of those over polenta for my entree! The bread and butter served before dinner is really good. A delicious butter with a hint of salt that complements the ciabatta that has a perfect pull to it. The chocolate martinis are on the dessert menu but don't sleep on starting your meal with one. You won't be disappointed! Our aunt and uncle had the chicken Vincent. Nice portion. 2 lightly floured and panned chicken breasts atop fettuccini tossed in a cream sauce. Seasoned wonderfully. The pasta can be hard to manage on a fork. Our preference would be penne just for the ease of eating it but no complaints on the flavor, presentation or portion side. Mike had a ribeye. Pittsburg, MR. Hard to get MR on a Pittsburg ribeye but it had a perfect char and flavor. Was closer to M-MW but again, excellent flavor. Don't look at the picture and say that's burned, google Pittsburg steak before you think that. The whipped red potatoes are heaven. I had the fried shrimp. Oh. My. Stars. Those fresh gulf shrimp tasted incredible. The best shrimp I've had in so long that I can't remember. I ate Mike's potatoes and he ate my fries. He said he wished the fries were a little crispier but loved the flavor. The tartar sauce. I could drink it. The best. Reminded me of the old Ralph and Kacoos. Freshly made in house. Bursting with all of the flavors. We love the feel of the restaurant. The tables are not too close together. The music was a bit loud when we got there and since 2 of us have hearing aids it made it double hard to hear each other but after the first couple of songs it seemed to go down a notch. We loved their music choices. For dessert we had the brownie. A thick, deep chocolate that was rich and decadent. Not cakey at all. Ala mode took to the next level. The bread pudding was melt in your mouth delicious. The owner is an absolute delight. We can't wait to go back so Mike can get the crawfish enchilada and I'm getting the shrimp again! Also, they have a gorgeous venue for special occasions connected to the restaurant. Can't wait to get back down there! Didn't take all the pictures so we could live in the moment but did get the entrees.

To begin, we love everything about the place. Indoor and outdoor seating, multiple dining rooms and bars...this place is great. However, we wanted to give a specific shout out to our server. Khloe (yes, with a K...) was an absolute pleasure. My wife ordered the surf and turf and I had the filet tips, both were great. But the dialogue and banter we enjoyed with Khloe was, without a doubt, our favorite part of our experience. Very simply, she was just fun. My wife and I are very laid back people so it was nice to have a server who matched our energy and felt comfortable joking around with us. Great food, great drinks, and great service. Five stars, thank you Khloe.

From the planning to execution, I highly recommend this venue for a small/medium size gathering. The space is unique and beautiful. I hired a decorator who provided a back drop and small decor throughout the venue but it really doesn't require much. Prior to the event I communicated with Ms. Julie who was always helpful and prompt. The only available catering was Cecilia and they did NOT disappoint. Guests absolutely loved the food.

It's been around for close to a dozen years, specializing in a number of different whiskey cocktails. The vibe screams date night, but it serves as a great place to lounge and people watch. There are sofas, loveseats, and a lot of casual lounging seating options that makes it feel more like someone's home than a nightlife establishment. The staff seems extremely down to earth, and the bar has chatty bartenders that are quick to recommend all sorts of drinks. Scotch and whiskey cocktails are their specialty, but they will make anything as long as they carry it. The place also seems like an interesting venue for group activities and buyouts. It feels like an ideal private space, having two floors means there are some custom options worth exploring. There's also an outdoor patio and the crowds are never too overwhelming.
