Situated in the Embassy Suites, Hand Cut serves lunch and dinner featuring a menu of modern chophouse fare served in the elegant dining room. On selected evenings, dinner may be accompanied by live music. The selection of burgers includes a luxurious truffle cheeseburger and a classic burger topped with sweet onions and gooey American cheese.

One of the BEST dining experiences I’ve ever had in Nashville! The food was absolutely delicious, the drinks were top-notch, and the service was beyond exceptional. We were lucky to have William as our server—he went above and beyond to make my birthday celebration with friends so special. I ordered the Black Truffle Coulotte, and it was cooked to perfection with incredible flavor. Everything from start to finish felt thoughtful and elevated. If you’re visiting downtown Nashville, I HIGHLY recommend Hand Cut Chophouse. You won’t be disappointed!

Absolutely the best experience I’ve had in Nashville. Great food, service and hospitality from the host Alex (he goes by Walker). Coby is a rock star behind the bar, along with Tori. Taylor was our server and couldn’t have been better. Top 10 recommendation while in town.

This was a great location with great ambiance. Maria was a great waitress and made the dining experience so great. Definitely asking for her when we come back! The garlic butter was amazing! I’d eat it with a spoon.

Great dinner and awesome service! Had a really great experience at Hand Cut. The food was solid! Steak was cooked perfectly, and everything came out great and flavorful. Our waitress Maria was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. It’s always nice when someone makes you feel genuinely welcome, and Maria definitely did that. Big thanks to her for making the night even better!

Hand Cut Chophouse is one of the best restaurants in Nashville in my opinion! The food was delicious, drinks were amazing and the service was out of this world! We had William as our server and he was amazing! I had the Black Truffle Coulotte which was probably one of the best steaks I have ever had. My boyfriend had the Bone-In New York strip which he said was one of the best cuts of steak he has ever had. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting downtown Nashville!

William, William, William, did not disappoint. Beautiful spirit and service! Great environment and food, pasta was a bit undercooked but great flavor. Overall, everything was great, especially, the brussels, tempura zucchini, and beets & burrata. The atmosphere was enjoyable and I'd highly recommend Hand Cut, and added bonus if you get William as your server.

A nice atmosphere and a pretty tasty steak. A bit pricey for the experience IMO. They were out of T-bone steaks. They fries were supposed hand cut, but they were nothing exceptional and overly salted…looked to be standard fare, not hand cut. Ordered a dirty martini, got regular olives then found out they had blue cheese ones which were never offered. Small stuff, but it adds up. Live music if you like that.

I have lived in Nashville over 6 years and just tried this place. It was amazing! We went for a date night and Maria, our server, was so kind and so on top of everything. She made us feel welcome and was such a sweetheart. The food was delicious, and live music was incredible. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who needs a nice date night spot!

The restaurant was beautiful. First time visiting Nashville, this place could have made a better experience and impression especially on my birthday. The waiter was decent but he could have been more friendly. The crab mac and cheese & mashed potatoes had no flavor. The chicken wings & lava cake were delicious. My fiancée complained that the ribeye was too greasy and had a soup consistency. Hand cut charges $40 for salmon but does not have lobster on the menu. My fiancé said the chicken sandwich at The Stillery was better than the rib eye at Handcut. Go elsewhere. Also very overpriced.

Ate here during a business trip. It was packed but we were able to get 2 seats at the bar. This was great because it was fun to watch them make different drinks. Our food was wonderful. Highlight for me was the steak sandwich. Bread was light and lots of flavors on the sandwich. We also had fries (the large is REALLY big), tempura zucchini seasoned well, and the meatball dip was surprisingly delicious. Everything we ate was really good. Definitely will return.

While staying in the hotel thought I'd just eat here so I didn't walk. Should have walked. The first thing when I came I asked for table in the donning room and the hostess procced to talking me into sitting in the bar and that it was happy hour and she would get me a menu for it. Never saw her again. The food came and the fries most were grey not from being burned more like the potato was bad and fried. Service was marginal. Bottomline go elsewhere.

Oh my gosh! I just had THE best burger of my life! What did I order? It was the Truffle Burger. My husband got the Western Burger minus the BBQ sauce and was equally impressed. The quality of the meat was outstanding. It came out beautifully, and the taste was absolutely outstanding! We decided to sit in the bar for dinner. Tori was our server. She was incredibly personable and knowledgeable about the menu. This place is a A+

Came in since I was staying at the hotel and it smelled great! Sat at the bar since it was just me the restaurant is beautiful love the decor. My bar tender was very nice. Got my old fashion. I would say if you're use to having your old fashion with one large rock as it should be there is an up charge for the ice my first time ever seeing that and up charge for old fashion I guess since I chose the type of bourbon I wanted. All bars are different but just letting you know if you are like me and particular. I tried the house salad and meatballs. The salad was pretty standard I will say not sure if it was the ranch or what but something was super sweet on the salad. The meatballs were good. More like meat in the red sauce but flavor was well. It comes with grilled bread not sure if I just have sensitive palate but the char on the bread rendered it non edible for me just tasted like burnt bread which saddened me because I love a good toasted bread. Over all I am glad I stopped in and would come back and try other items.

Lovely presentation. The flavor of the spinach dip was good, however the consistency was similar to that of a paste. That on top of dry bread did not pair well in my opinion. The salad was great, 10/10 highly recommend. The bar staff's awareness of hygiene etiquette is questionable. The lady kept fiddling around with her hair. The male appeared to touch his nose/face. Exposed bruises were on the back side of his hands. Neither seemed to wash their hands after these actions. In addition, the attention to service and the needs of the customers were subpar. The host was not personable. She did not part her lips to greet us coming in/leaving out. They would be better off having a statue stationed at the host stand. The experience here was underwhelming.

In town for a conference at Music City Center. Almost walked past this place because it blends in so well with the rest of the block. Checked in with the server and went with outdoor seating. Very nice atmosphere on the inside but the weather was so nice I couldn't pass up outdoor seating. Service was prompt and attentive. I decided to go with a Routstock Cabernet and small salty fries for an appetizer. For the main I chose the ribeye and citrus asparagus. Steak was cooked well. I would have preferred a thick cut version for a bit more. Thin cut steaks remind me too much of a Waffle House breakfast item. The lava cake for dessert was the crowning item. The raspberry compote was an amazing addition to the cake. Service and atmosphere are good. This would be a nice place to grab a drink on the patio and watch the birds fly around if you wanted to skip the main course.

Lovely resturant with a very well styled interior. Service is nice but slow to start. Food is tasty but a bit pricey which I attribute to the location. ~$120 + tip for two people. Took about 30 minutes for anyone to come to our table. The waffle cone whiskey drink is so cute and I'd highly recommend it.

I recently dined at hand cut while in Nashville and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of elegance and comfort. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or a casual night out, this place delivers. The live bad was great. It added to the fun ambiance. The service was outstanding--our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made excellent recommendations. The menu offered a great selection, catering to a variety of tastes and dietary preferences. Our waiter was the reason why I was able to get a Cesar salad and I added steak, which wasn't on the menu but a great idea. Glad I got it. Overall, Hand cut exceeded my expectations. The quality of the food, the attentive service, and the inviting atmosphere make it a must-visit. I highly recommend it and can't wait to return!

While staying at Embassy Suotes for a work conference, I dined and had drinks here on two nights and just had drinks on an additional night. For food, I had the Chicken BLT Sandwich wrapped in lettuce one night and it was satisfying. It only came with the sandwich which was perfect for me. I had the California Burger wrapped in lettuce another night and it was very tasty! I highly recommend. I tried several different drinks. The Guava Margarita was delightful and refreshing. The guava was a perfect touch. Their tequila sodas with fresh lime juice are incredible! They are strong but taste good. I enjoyed a glass of Saldo one night and it had a nice richness to it. Lastly, I had an Old Fashioned night cap on my last evening. I am not much a brown liquor drinker but I actually enjoyed it and finished the drink! The clear ice block is perfect. It melts at a perfect rate so not to dilute the cocktail. All the bartenders at Hand Cut are very friendly and attentive. While dining alone one night, they covered my drink while I went to the restroom. I really appreciated this! The ambiance was immaculate. Great for all settings--drinks with coworkers, date night, dinner with friends, dinner alone, etc. They have live music and each artist that performed was fantastic! Each experience was great and memorable. I will definitely come back, either for just drinks or for dinner too, during my next stay in Nashville.

Always my favorite stop when in Nashville for their gin cocktail, which is both beautiful and delicious! Steaks are consistently good as well.

Picked this place because it had a great happy hour! Drinks and bites were on the list so it was a must on my list! I originally made a reservation but when we were seated they explained happy hour was bar only, I wish this was advertised so we didn't have that awkward interaction with the waiter about moving to the bar. Anyway, not a big deal and we moved to the bar. The bartender was friendly and stuck up a conversation and explained the happy hour. There was some great live music being played in the background. I really appreciated that it wasn't too loud and we were still able to have a conversation. We ended up with the blackberry mojito, tempura zucchini, spinach and artichoke dip, and the Burger and Bud Light special. The star of the show was the tempura zucchini!!! Fried perfectly, well seasoned, great dipping sauce... I'm still thinking about them!! The spinach dip was not for me. It was under seasoned with a strong sharp cheese flavor. The burger was cooked a perfect medium. We really liked the house sauce -- it was like a Big Mac sauce. Last thing to note is the cocktails are strong! Definitely worth the price for the amount of alcohol. I wish the blackberries were muddled like a traditional mojito but all in all a great drink.

We were staying at the hotel here and decided to try out the restaurant downstairs. We ordered the ahi tuna stack, Brussels sprouts, balsamic tomato bucatini and cali burger. My favorite part was the burger because the patty was cooked perfectly and very juicy. All of the other dishes were okay. Brussels sprouts were a little too sweet and were almost too roasted / tasted almost burnt. The ahi stack was pretty good - we liked the wonton chips that went with it. I wasn't the biggest fan of the pasta 6/10. Vibes were great. We loved the decor, ambiance and live music! Service was also great. Our waitress came by many times to ask how we were doing. If I were to come back I would probably only get the burger.

Dinner with a large party of 25-30. We were sat on time and well taken care of. Food was excellent. Many had steaks but probably hit a lot of the meh all around. No complaints from a very large group. Cocktails were craft. Some really really good unique ones. Definitely a great restaurant with spectacular service and even live music to boot. The whole package.

I ate here while I was out of town and I was looking for a delicious steak. This place did not disappoint. I chose to eat at the bar for the happy hour steak meal. The portions were large. I had a filet mignon and mashed potatoes, which were absolutely delicious. The service was wonderful. It was really fun sitting at the bar and watching the bartenders make all the drinks. The hostesses were so kind. If I am ever back in Nashville, I will definetely visit here again.

I thought my food was very good here. I got the tomato pasta and it had a ton of balsamic, which I LOVE! Noodles were also great. I don't know if they were homemade but it tasted like it. They had a local singer singing in there. It wasn't too loud so it was a nice vibe. Decorations were upscale. Service was slow.

Came here for lunch and sat in the cocktail area. The service was not fast, we actually had to wait about 13 minutes for the server to greet our table, and the hostess ended up being the one to bring waters to the table and apologize for the wait, but the server was nice and had good recommendations for food. I had the grilled chicken Caesar Salad. Chicken was seasoned well, dressing was pretty good. The person with me had the creamy chicken pasta and said it was pretty good. I was only in town visiting, but lunch for me wasn't spectacular so I don't think I'd go again if I were in the area again.

The food was amazing. Everyone loved what they ate ... honey garlic wings, steak sandwich, and western bacon hamburger. Well prepared, flavors were solid. The service was a little slow, but she had tables all over the restaurant floor. The live entertainment was fun but stopped for the football game on large screen. It is a fairly large space with tables for larger groups, booths, bar seating, and patio areas.

We had rooms booked at the Embassy for the weekend and we had a larger group of 13. I was able to talk to the manager and work with them to reserve us a table on Friday night right up close to the band. They were so helpful and super accommodating as I had to change the time once, too. The restaurant is so pretty and well decorated! Service was amazing, especially with out large group. They did have us split into two groups but right next to each other sharing a bench. It really did work out for the best with people getting up to go to the bathroom. The live band was great, and their stage setup makes it feel super intimate and exclusive. The food was amazing! We started with the tuscan meatballs, zucchini and the artichoke dip. They were SO good - the meatballs were a crowd favorite but everything was enjoyed. I had asked our server for her rec on the pastas and she recommended the Creamy Chicken Pasta and she did not steer me wrong. Decadent! I woke up and ate the leftovers are 6AM! Overall, 10/10 experience based on working with the staff ahead of time, our actual dinner and service, and the fact that I got a follow-up email asking about our experience (not an automated one either!) = i'm impressed and would highly recommend!

This was such an awesome restaurant. Such a great vibe and not too expensive. I got the steak sandwich and let me tell you, it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. That pineapple jam was phenomenal. I got fries too and they were perfect. I will be thinking about this meal for a very long time

This place is a perfect place to have an intimate dinner with your special person or hangout with a group of friends, it can accommodate any/most size groups. Their rib eye steak is arguably the most tender most flavorful piece of meat in the state. The Brussels sprouts were mouth watering and the mashed potatoes were the perfect consistency. Their portions are big so order accordingly. Highly recommended!!

I will start with the good..... the cocktails are ON POINT! The butter cake.... was FANTASTIC...service by Maria was great. The Ehhh.... Ahi Stack was ok, but not GREAT. The tuna is mixed with mayo and to me it killed the taste. It was beautiful presentation though. I ordered the Steak Salad. Didn't take a pic bc it wasn't photo worthy. Ordered Mid Rare..... came out rare but didn't send it back. The amount of steak on the steak salad equates to 4 little strips. For the price.... NOT worth it. We also ordered the wagyu sliders. Came out like hockey pucks. So bad. Sent them back. Ambiance was nice. There was a signer on the stage, not loud, but nice. I would come back though!

While walking around downtown on a Saturday night over Memorial Day weekend, my boyfriend and I were a little overwhelmed to say the least. Almost all the restaurants were packed with lines that we were ready to get back into the car and head back towards Franklin where we were staying when we came across Hand Cut Chophouse. The place was full and they had a couple playing live music and I figured we would have to wait at least 45 min but nope, they sat us right away and right in front of the stage. Our waiter was friendly and polite. We ordered the fried zucchini appetizer. That was just okay- nothing to rave about. I ordered the hand cut classic burger- that was really delicious and my boyfriend ordered the bone-in New York and he said it was delicious. We also got the sweet potato & salt and vinegar fries as sides. I would've preferred them to be a bit more crispy. Overall a good stop for a bite and the entertainment and ambiance was very nice.

Had a nice date night here at Hand Cut. Maria was our server and she was so sweet and attentive. Very friendly! I really enjoyed the food. My husband got the salmon and I got the flat iron. We shared the sweet potato fries and loved it. I will say that the dessert was a let down. The butter cake was dry and a sad way to end a delicious meal. I wish we would have ordered a different dessert.

Great ambience! So chic perfect for date night We ordered some spritz and old fashion to start the night off. Then we ordered some appetizers: wings, spinach dip and fries. Ordered their salmon and steak salad. Service was great, our server was fast and food came out not long after. We all enjoyed everything. Great night, great food and great drinks!

We came here twice on our trip to Nashville as we were staying in the attached Hilton, and each time it hit the spot! We had the same server both times, and she was so nice and accommodating. She gave us advice on the airport and traffic surges as we were not familiar with the area. For shared apps, we got the ahi tuna stack. The tuna was fresh and didn't taste fishy, and the chunks were big which I liked. I didn't particularly like pistachios paired with the flavors of the stack, but when put aside, I really enjoyed this snack! The honey garlic wings were more honey & sweet tasting than garlic, but still cooked well & juicy. The zucchini fries & regular fries were pretty standard, I didn't particularly like the ranch at this restaurant. The California burger was delicious, perfectly cooked (medium) & juicy. The second time we went there was a live performer, which adds to the ambiance of this restaurant. It's surrounded by large windows, so during the day your dining experience has a bunch of natural light. From anywhere you are in the restaurant you're able to see the stage & live performer. Definitely would come here again next time we're in Nashville!

Dined with my boyfriend a couple weeks ago whilst visiting the area. What a little Gem. I didn't have a yelp page before, but I had to create one just for this reason. Some of the best food and drinks i've ever had on my travels. We sat at the bar, and were very lucky to to meet our beautiful bartender Cindy. The honey wings, Western Burger and Bone-In New York were all OMG!!!! We will definitely be back next year on our travels. Again, Kudos to Cindy for making our experience amazing!!!

I recently visited Nashville to see some family and friends. My brother and I decided to give Hand Cut a try and we were very impressed! We sat at the bar because we wanted to watch a basketball game. Cindi was our bartender. She was super nice and really funny, she made us feel welcome. She gave us some good tips on where to go and what to do while we were in town. We shared the honey garlic wings and the spinach artichoke dip, both were really good. The drinks were on point as well, we will definitely stop back in on our next trip to Nashville.

I made reservations for a party of 4 to celebrate hubby & I 22nd anniversary. We arrived on time , received a warm welcome by the hostess and was seated promptly. We visited on a Monday night during the July 4th holiday. I very much enjoyed the two young ladies providing live music. Our server, Darrin ( I hope I spelled his name correctly) was phenomenal. PROS The ribeye was insanely delicious.. Cocktails were decent Ambiance was great. This place is gorgeous, I love the classy feel. We were surprised with a sparkler and complimentary wine. The bread pudding was delicious. CONS The pasta was not yummy, lacked flavor. It wasn't horrible, but I need some basil and black pepper to be added to the dish. Even the white sauce was bland. Overall we really enjoyed our anniversary dinner and would return for the ribeye, service and ambiance.

Walked in and got seats at the bar. Had a great time trying their cocktails. The bartenders are obviously skilled and fun to chat with as well. The crowd was very mixed, couples, business people, hotel guests and of course some bachelorettes. They had a live band playing and actually kept it on a good volume so people could both enjoy the music and still talk (not that usual in Nashville downtown). Tried the beef tartar which was excellent, we will definitely be back!

I'll be honest, my expectations were low when I looked for a *new* restaurant to try and Hand Cut popped up. I'm not exactly sure where I saw it, but the restaurant was called "Hand Cut Burgers". So I initially thought it was a burger restaurant, like Burger Up. Not to say I don't like burgers but that's not what I was craving. Regardless, I made reservations and I will say my expectations were blown away. Located on the ground floor of the Embassy Suites in downtown Nashville, Hand Cut is actually "Hand Cut Chophouse", and the restaurant is fantastic. Hand Cut is very energetic with the live music, and I love the modern decor. It's very chic and the establishment exudes classy. The menu is equally impressive with a nice assortment of chops, burgers, pastas, and drinks. I opted for the ribeye, asparagus, and mashed potatoes. Although the menu isn't large, there is something for everyone. The grilled ribeye was cooked to perfection, with a nice char and dripping with the house-made garlic butter. Although I'm a huge steak person, the star of the show were the signature sides. The Citrus Grilled Asparagus was a unique twist I never thought to do (and I cook a lot of asparagus at home). The citrus added a nice tart to the not-overcooked, crunchy spears of asparagus. I enjoyed it so much, I started cooking with lemon juice on my asparagus at home. The Black Truffle Mash was smooth, creamy, with that unique truffle oil flavor. Couldn't have asked for better sides! I'm impressed with this establishment and will definitely return. I know Nashville has a lot of options for these days and I'm glad I stumbled across this one.

Upon entering, the hostess promptly sat at our reserved table. We were seated next to a live band, which had a very mellow and beautiful sound, and was not too loud so we could have our conversations. The food was unbeatable! Starting with the tuna tartare, it was flavorful and Made an impact. The beat and Barada salad was absolutely delightful, fresh, crisp, and probably the best beet salad I've ever had. The wedged chopped blue cheese salad was also tasty and the best touch was the caramelized onions. Moving onto our main dish, my New York steak was cooked perfectly and was flavored with only salt and butter, as it should be. Didn't need anything extra which is the mark of a perfect steak. The bread pudding for dessert was absolutely superb, so tasty that my tastebuds were having a party in my mouth. I truly enjoyed the ambience, the service, and the food. Do not miss this restaurant!

I came to Hand Cut with no expectations. Embassy Suites doesn't offer reduced or free valet for this restaurant inside their hotel. This was my first turn off, especially with the over priced parking downtown. This restaurant wasn't worth the $25 I paid to park. The food was average. I've had better food at Longhorn Steakhouse . Sad to say but, I won't be back.

Staying in the hotel, so after a morning and early afternoon of exploration we came home, as it were, to check out the Chophouse. We were seated promptly by the hostess, and then ignored for all of 15 minutes, until I flagged down an employee, who as it turned out was on his first day in the job. Raul, sort of saved the day, as we were ready to walk out, when he saw me actively trying to engage any of the 7 plus staff in the restaurant. Not a great beginning to say the least. Once he stepped up we enjoyed the music being played by a local musician as well as the salt and vinegar fries on the happy hour menu that we ordered in spite of it being a Saturday. I would say our unhappiness at the wait spurred the manager to allow us the happy hour charges. We came back for dinner after a false fire alarm caused us to walk 26 flights to the street only to have it all be ok thank goodness. Our dinner was also highlighted by more great live music, and our earlier server Raul being our guy again. We wish the food could have even closely reached the level of care and music we enjoyed. My "Western Bacon" burger was ok, but a bit salty, lacking any real identity, and my salad, a bed of romaine with a huge helping of I'm not sure what slathered on top. The lovely K enjoyed her "Hand cut Classic" burger but found the onion rings lacking any flavour. On the whole I would rate the entire food offering very average at best. I get that Nashville is expensive, but two glasses of wine, two burgers, a side of onion rings and a boring salad shouldn't be an American hundo. The music was great, the service good, and the food average at best. We're here for a week and in spite of the great music and good service we will not be back with all the choices mere moments away.

Their happy hour is a must try! $8 bites and drinks are definitely worth it. Beautiful spot, lots of fun details in an open space. We got the Tonica and Blackberry Mojito for drinks - stunning and delicious. We ordered 4 apps to share (pictured) among 4 of us and had some leftover. The portions are large - don't let the happy hour pricing confuse you. I liked the spinach and artichoke dip the most. The grilled bread sealed the deal for me. The fries were great. Our server, Will, was funny and excellent. It also seemed like a requirement for the waitstaff to be beautiful because they all are!

My husband and I stopped by here before a show at TPAC and we were definitely surprised. I need to first say we did not get a steak so I can't comment on their main fare, but we did get several things that we split and were pleasantly surprised! If you're using Google maps to find this, be prepared to be confused. It says it's on one corner but it's actually another. It's right across from the convention center. When we walked in, I thought it was going to be another steakhouse with high prices and standard fare, but I was wrong. They had so many sides I wanted to try with different flavors than the normal butter/olive oil. It was still pricey, but it was worth it. We ended up getting the wagyu sliders (excellent), the wedge salad (very good), the snow peas (excellent; could have had one of these just to myself), and mac n cheese (very good). I also got the waffle cone old fashioned. It was very flashy and fun, but it tasted mostly like a regular one so I don't know that it was worth the extra price, but it was a good old fashioned. I definitely plan to come back here! Ps, good service, cool decor. Don't understand the tv that makes it like a sports bar. Feel like they could have gone without and embraced the upscale steakhouse feel instead.

Awful meal. Sat at bar. Rude bartender. Ordered medium rare burger. Came out well done and cold. I had one bite. Bartender never even asked how it was and didn't say anything about me eating just one bite. $60 for a glass of wine and French fries. Absolutely terrible experience

Ohhhh baby GonzoEats is back with another one and this one is outside of Florida. First off if you love sports Tennessee is where you want to be. This is a fancy place and there is tvs everywhere it's amazing. Sorry ladies if your man loves sports it's a romantic night but annoying to if he can't separate lol. Service was great our waiter was awesome and they were a bit packed cause I want to say she was also bartending so made skills. Fun and bubbly personality. On to the food omg loved the food here and I mean everything that came out. Honestly did not disappoint at all. Drinks were awesome too. Overall great experience definitely go check them out.

We came here for Happy Hour after a coworker recommendation. Great recommendation. Old Fashion was on point and only $8. Or you can get a Berry Mojito for $8. Both were great tasting. Bartender was very nice and patient. We ordered the French fries and weren't disappointed. They only have a few items on their happy hour but at half off of their regular price makes it a very good happy hour. Musician playing in the background makes it ambiance a great one.

Started off well and our waiter was professional and helpful. We had a slight problem with one steak order but was attended to after trying to get assistance to inform them. The Old Fashions were Well Made and in front of you; Smoked at that!! Spacious for sure.

The ambiance and food were okay but did not match the price point. Service was horrible even with it being my birthday dinner and having reservation. The restaurant was located in a hotel which was not advertised. I would not return.
