I think I will have delicious dreams about that filet mignon for the next week. \n\nThe service was fantastic. We came on a Saturday night with something called Nashville filming a scene across the street so needless to say, the place was PACKED. Despite my initial feeling of extreme claustrophobia because my group decided to try to squeeze up to the bar for a beer during the week, the entire wait staff was smiley, friendly, and the hostess managed to find us several times to update us on when we would have a table. Our waiter was quick, attentive, friendly but not over-talkative which is my idea of excellent service. \n\nNow, the food was AMAZING. I ordered a filet mignon with mac & cheese and a wedge side salad. The dressing on my salad, a sherry vinagerette, was to die for. I practically licked the plate clean. Then, my filet showed up right on time, medium well as requested, and it melted. in. my. mouth. Beyond delicious. I mean it, I will dream of that steak. Then, the side dish of baked mac & cheese was fantastic. Melty in the center with a variety of cheeses, topped with baked, crunchy crust with a hint of bacon. I have paid 6 times as much to eat this exact same meal at Morton's and I would choose this place first every single time. \n\nThe atmosphere was just as wonderful as the food. Lively, buzzing, casual. When the hostess showed our party of four to a table right in the center of the restaurant, I wasn't thrilled. I much prefer to be in a booth or off to the side when I'm in a group so that I can hear the people I'm sitting with but not feel like all the tables around us are in one big conversation because we're all so close together. However, we didn't have that problem at all! Whoever set this place up must have had the acoustics in mind because it was slam packed in there, and it was loud, but it was just the right amount of loud. We were still able to have great conversation, hear every word, but enjoy the fun atmosphere too. \n\nNeedless to say, I will be back here SO MANY TIMES. Mmmm.. filet mignon dreams..
