We had a gift card to use and thought a Friday lunch would be nice.
We walked in, dressed in business casual+.
Be very aware. This establishment is VERY much catered towards regulars. Which is great to see, albeit at the expense of guests like my wife and I who visited for our first time. We were placed at a table behind the bar and next to the exit door. There was no sign indicating it directly, but there could have been one pointing toward to door saying "if you don't come here we don't want you here. Use this for to move on so we can serve people we want here."
There are numerous online reviews that share this same sentiment. I should have known. I felt judged from the moment we walked in. My wife and I have very good jobs and enjoy nice restaurants on a regular basis. We definitely felt a "oh, these people are not one of us" vibe.
Food quality was excellent. I had the blackened scallops as an appetizer and it was honestly one of the best I have ever had. However the stark dish on the lunch menu was just ok. Really really small, and not overly impressive. If they pride themselves on steak, this didn't meet that standard.
We were not offered a second drink or dessert. I guess they wanted to table opened up for a regular guest, or at least a spot to put the next guests that walk in that they would rather not serve. Mission accomplished.
