We had tomato bisque and lobster bisque soups, both so tasty leaving us wishing for more. I had a good filet mignon and my girlfriend had lobster tails, sweet but maybe a little overcooked. She loved her dessert of peppermint ice cream with chocolate sauce. My chocolate mousse cake was a little heavy and dry. The overall experience was a nice way to celebrate with a satisfying All American dinner.

The only thing I would suggest is that when you order a fillet medium well maybe the server could ask if you’re OK with it being butterflied because ours is pretty pink inside. Although it tasted fantastic

It was just ok. They did not give any point(s) thru open table. I have a lettuce entertain you account, and they didn’t put in the code or points. I had to contact Lettuce entertain you regarding this. I’ve always liked dining here, but it seems that service “overall” is becoming unpleasant. Waiter was good, it’s just the overall service of the restaurant itself. I am now 50-50 in dining here again..
