Great place for food and drinks. They have a big whiskey selection if you are into whiskeys. If you come with a large group, you should order the pig head; it's crispy goodness. It's huge and we shared it with 8 people, among other dishes. The bone marrow mac and cheese was probably my favorite here.

We made reservations for out 21st weeding anniversary. The service was absolutely horrible! I haven't ever experienced anything like it before. We ordered appetizers and it never came. We ordered entres and my husband got his food and it took 40 minutes to get my hamburger. We were set next to a group that was extremely aggressive and disrespectful. The food was decent. However, if you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy the company and the food do not go to this place. Other options you might enjoy is Ruth Chris or even the Cheesecake Factory. Lol! Anywhere but here

The Recess Room is a weird combination of every single hipster trend; irrelevant black and white photos, servers wearing leather aprons and overpriced drinks. It’s bizarre. The bar has 25 taps, but only 4 were connected, of which 3 were sours (and not good). No champagne to make spritz and the mule was nothing but lime juice in a high ball. So bizarre. Bar looked cool, though.
