    Yummy food, great service, excellent music and not too loud. Went on a Saturday morning before the brunch rush. I had the breakfast burger and it was very tasty. I also ordered a hot chocolate w oatmilk and it was perfectly frothy.

    We tried this restaurant as we all thought great steakhouse. It was a work lunch so we were all polite and ate our steaks. After when I said wellwhat did you think, 2 said ok and 2 a smigde over cooked. I had new york Chicago medium, it looked on the outside exactly the same as the new york medium rare on the outside. Couldn't tell if mine was Chicago or his was. The trio of sauces were yummy and really helped the overcooked steak. Potatoes were great vegetables tasty but small portion. It was ok just not wow.
