Everything from the moment you walk up to the doors, past the tranquil fountain, and see the staff open the doors with a smile, you know you are in for a fantastic dining experience. While it can feel a bit crowded on busy nights with hustling servers and a massive crowd of diners, the menu may also give casual diners some sticker shock. However, trust me when I say it is all worth it. Our server Ashley was outstanding, especially when our young child became restless during dinner. The tomahawk steak that some of our party split looked delicious, but I opted for the salmon which was seasoned perfectly with a butter sauce and capers, topped with amazing shrimp and lump crab. The lobster bisque I had before the entree was also one of the best I've ever had. Don't miss the chance to try it.

Three of us ordered steaks, filet mignon and boneless ribeye. I sampled those and they were great but it was my salmon that blew me away. It was cooked a perfect medium rare, as I'd requested, and practically melted in my mouth. Harticots verts and asparagus sides were delicious. French fries turned out to be cartoonishly thick slabs of potato coated with seasoning on the outside. Overall they were pretty bland, more of a conversation piece than anything else. It was ok, though: over the top means fun! If I could award 10 stars for the service, I would. Every staff member we encountered was polite, charming and indulgent. They did their jobs efficiently and unobtrusively. Messes were whisked away immediately. At the dessert stage, I looked down and realized clean flatware had been placed in front of me without my noticing. What a rare treat. The restaurant was jam packed, and it was LOUD. We had to shout to converse with anyone farther away than the next seat. Be warned about that. However, this quibble was eclipsed by the excellence of everything else. I should mention that Pappas Bros. is terribly expensive. All entrees are in the $50 range, and that only buys the protein. Sides are $14 each but could easily be shared by two, if not three, diners. Desserts are $16. The bar bill adds up with lightning speed. Reservations are a must. It's worth the money and planning. We got what we paid for: a perfect, memorable night. Vegetarian options: There are no great vegetarian options. You'll have to order an assortment of salads and/or sides. I would be surprised if anything is offered for vegans; everything seemed buttery. Parking: There's a big parking lot with the option of self parking, but all the close by spaces were taken by the time we arrived at 6:30. Thankfully valets are available if the lot is too packed.
