For drinks, we ordered hot toddies - they were perfectly lemony and spicy for this freezing winter day. For food, we ordered buttermilk biscuits, a west-coast style omelette, and a brisket hash - all the food came out hot and delicious. Both plates came with home fries, and they are top notch here. Will definitely be back again!

Food and service were excellent as usual. Our waiter, Andre, and his team did an exceptional job of making sure we had everything. Through no fault of the restaurant, there was a rambunctious group of 20-something-year old boys who thought everyone in the restaurant wanted to hear how much fun they were having at a steakhouse. Must have been the first time for them. Partially killed the ambience part of the night for my son and me.
