   My husband and I usually go here for our anniversaries and other special celebrations. I love their changing menu. It forces you to try something new each visit! I am the kind of person to get the same old thing, but not here! It makes my dining experience more enjoyable! The food is always great and the servers are excellent! I totally recommend this restaurant to anyone!

   The best restaurant between STL and Nashville: Where do I even begin? Brett, the Bartender makes amazing drinks, Jim the headwaiter has more knowledge about food and dining than anyone I've ever known, and BZ and Donnie are the absolute Kings of Service.
   
   The last time I dined here, we sat at "Table 8" which is the best table in the house. The wine list was a bit overwhelming, but Jim and Donnie offered some great selections to ease the decision making process. The menu had literally something to accomodate anyone's tastes. Then, came the specials of the evening. These items aren't listed on the menu and the waiter describes them all verbally. It's quite an experience! They are very knowledgeable! Jim especially has it down to a science! After a bit of deciding, I had (at Donnie's suggestion) a Grilled Mozzarella Salad. It was wonderful, albeit a bit strange in appearance. It looked almost like a small steak! For the entree I had an item from the verbal specials. It was pan seared Mahi-Mahi stuffed with blue crab meat and shrimp, then wrapped in prosciutto. It was served with a citrus risotto, and a lemon/white wine sauce. It literally felt like it was melting in my mouth. During dinner, BZ came downstairs to say hello to us, even though he was obviously busy with a private group upstairs. The staff are very friendly and approachable. After dinner, Jim told us about the dessert specials. They are presented verbally as well. We decided on a Chocolate Paradise, which is the most intense, amazingly delightful chocolate dessert I've ever had anywhere, followed by a Chocolate Martini, one of Brett's many specialties.
   
   Overall, it was wonderfully romantic, the food was excellent, the service was superb, the drinks were perfect, and I cannot say enough good things about the place. I recommend it to anyone who seriously knows and appreciates an exceptional dining experience!
