I would recommend getting a piece of meat and get one that is dry aged. Bisque was ok calamari left me wanting more. I wouldn't come here for seafood but I definitely would go out of your way to get some beef here. The cheesecake was 9 out of 10 bisque 7 or an 8. Calamari was a 6. Steaks were a 9.5-10 we got brussel sprouts and mushroom caps as our sides and those were a solid eight or a nine. Pulled off very nicely. The server Chris (spelling?

Go here if you want a nice treat or something special. The calamari needs help, I would have gave it a perfect five other than that. My apologies for the photos in low lighting I didn't do any editing but the presentation was excellent.

The ambiance is pleasant, and the restaurant's history is quite intriguing. However, given the cost, I would have anticipated a more upscale experience.
