What ruined the experience was receiving the final bill. I paid $80 for the reservation through Tock. On the confirmation page it’s states “your deposit secures your booking and will be applied to your final bill”. The $80 was not deducted from the bill. I spoke to manager, and was told it will be refunded back to me. That’s not what’s listed on the confirmation page. It is very misleading, and it’s falsely represents the overall experience I was hoping for. So a heads up to patrons who come here, what you pay as a deposit will not be deducted from your final bill as promised. Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I got the beef wellington and it's one of the best I have had in the states. My father in-law always orders the prime rib which was cooked to his perfection. Our server was a delight. She made sure we never went without. The atmosphere is what you would expect and want out of a historic supper club. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

It pains me to write a bad review considering the state of the restaurant industry right now but this was so bad. They had the bartender waiting tables and bartending, granted there were not many people in there but 6 tables and ppl at the bar is too many ppl for 1 person to handle. My friend and I ordered the margarita on their special cocktail list and it was disgustingly sweet. But it took him so long to get back to us that we just drank them. We ordered the shrimp cocktail for an appetizer and it came out with 5 small shrimp with jarred cocktail sauce. For $19.99 I can't believe we didn't get so much as a lemon wedge… and 5 shrimp? Come on. We asked for lemon and again it took so long we had eaten the tiny shrimp. She ordered the roast amish chicken which tasted like it was freezer burnt. I got the pork chop which came with a sauce that was super salty. It wasn't worth complaining bc again he didn't come back to check on us for at least 20 mins… The cocktails were supposed to be half off (HH) but we were charged full price. Overall terribly disappointing and SO expensive. Would not recommend at all
