A nice quiet room greatly suited for a birthday celebration.\nOur group started off with a selection of a few appetisers. I really enjoyed the crab cakes and the Oysters Rockefeller. Both had loads of flavor. We then continued on with salads. Our server (Jahar Glover) did a beautiful job of making Caesar Salads table side. A beautiful performance hard to top (but her did later). Our group ordered a variety of steaks and main dishes including Wine Braised Short Ribs, that I can only say not a bad word was voiced. Each was done to perfection. my filet was mouth watering and very tasty. It is unfortunate that they feel the need to charge $4 for blue cheese sprinkled on top. Along with our meal we shared orders of Brussel Sprouts, Duck Fat Frites, and Rare Hash Browns. All of which where delightful. it was nice to see the sides served family style. Our waiter was also very helpful when it came to selecting a nice red wine to compliment our meal. With over 400 bottles to pick from a little help was welcomed. \nAnd then we come to dessert. After having eaten way too much, and birthday cake to come later, we opted for an order of Bananas Foster to be shared. Waiter Jahar Glover out did his earlier performance in preparing the Bananas Foster tableside. Starting out by making caramel from butter and brown sugar and then adding the bananas and finally setting the liqueurs aflame. It was fitting end to a wonderful meal and celebration. \n(Our only regret was having spent too long looking for parking only to realise they offer valet parking. Would be nice to have that noted on their website.)"^^ . "3"^^ . . . "2016-02-29T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ .
