    The food and service were excellent. Although the restaurant was busy, our server was attentive and the steaks/chops were cooked to perfection! Kudos to the GM for selecting Prisoner as the by-the-glass wine offering. I have been eating here for over 30 years and have never been disappointed.

    The food was wonderful -- and bountiful! Leftovers are a treasured part of Thanksgiving for me, and we had plenty to take home. The service was friendly and helpful, and the ambiance pleasant.

    Regarding service: Getting seated at 8:00 PM on a Friday was essentially instant, though after being seated it took about half an hour before a waiter came to ask us for our order. The food was magnificent, and in such abundant quantities that for three people, a single order of their nachos would have been plenty. The ambience was not too loud as to prevent conversation, though at times loud enough to stop it. The decor is chic, and the golden skeleton on a motorcycle honestly increased my overall satisfaction. All in all, 7/10 restaurant for diners under 21, despite mainly being a bar.
