It is a unique place, dark, candlelit, with live music every night. I had the $38 cowboy steak and was very disappointed. It was supposed to be 18 oz., but was not. The flavor was good, but nothing special - definitely not worth the money. The accompanying onion rings were excellent. My dining companions each had a $12 pizza and... more

Had dinner here with a coroporate group during a meeting. Ambiance was fantastic- great outdoor space with fireplace, moody jazz theme inside. I thought I was in for a fantastic dinner after a long day. Not so much. The sirloin I ordered was almost impossible to cut (medium rare), and dessert was awful (brownie a la mode). I also had... more

Went here on a Friday before the music started and found the atmosphere to be very comfortable. The decor is very unique and I found our waiter to be very knowledgable about the menu and extensive wine list. My husband got the sirlon (which is $24 I think and potatoes are extra) and loved it. I got a bit of... more

This place was not only very eclectic and fun, but the food was amazing as well. I have eaten here on a power lunch over business and I came back for dinner and live music. This is more of an upscale chic bar and restaurant that I would definately come back to again. more

I witnessed this club short one of their best acts after the fact. The food is pricey and OK but most people go for the great music. They music won't last if the management continues to steal from the artist. more

Went there on a Friday night with 7:30 pm reservations. We were seated near the glass enclosed patio, a few tables from the band- excellent spot for people watching. The shrimp appetizer was delicous but small. The drinks were excellent- they do not skimp on the liquor. Our main courses (steak and salmon) were also very delicious. We had "Key... more
