Our waitress was wonderful, I cannot remember her name but she has black stylish glasses, we had a tight time frame and she honored our time schedule and kept us on track.. my petite filet with Italian Oscar was delicious. The bread melted in our mouth. Our waitresses recommendations were on point.
