It was amazing food. The steaks were very well done outstanding some might even say also the service was amazing and we constantly had our water filled up and topped off. They were constantly checking on us. The noise was very very low. It was almost a dull roar the lighting was spectacular. Bathrooms were clean. Food came out prompt Server was very personable. Caesar salad was perfect. The bread was a very nice touch. I felt the easily pulled apart. Bread was one of my favorite parts along with the 14 ounce. New York strip perfectly made medium as well. As the filet mignon and all the trimmings were fantastic as well.
