Food - everything we ordered was tasty (prime rib w/mashed potatoes and asparagus, ses bass w/risotto) both came with a side salad, French onion soup, hideout hash browns crab cakes, dessert trio, bread pudding, carrot cake (the couple next to us had that). The prime rib was a little on the rare side, but when I heat up the leftovers, it'll be perfect. It was tender and juicy, the horseradish sauce was flavorful and the sides were both cooked well. My friend enjoyed her sea bass, but found the risotto to be a little too al dented.
Drinks - if you enjoy an old-fashioned, you will NOT be disappointed. There's is aged 2 weeks in vanilla scented barrels. It's absolutely delicious. The prohibition pinch received good reviews as well.
Dessert - another home run. The beignet on the trio was the favorite, followed closely by the triple chocolate brownie. If you're a bread pudding person, you won't be disappointed...a little bit more of that delicious sauce and it would have been perfect. The STAR of the dessert menu has go to be the carrot cake! OMG....first of all, it's enough to serve 2-3, maybe 4, people. Second of all, it's an entire bowl of deliciousness...from the ice cream, to the frosting, to the toasted pecans and the light and fluffy cake.
Service - we sat at the bar. The bar tenders were great - eey knowledgeable about the menu (food and drinks) and the didn't stop moving thr while time we were there.
I don't live in Fort Wayne, but this place will always be on my list. The owner (who we met) is quite personable and the managers (we also met 1 of them) do a great job interacting with their patrons and definitely want to make sure your dining experience is enjoyable
