    Perfection. A custom cocktail for someone that wasn’t sure what she wanted. She loved it. Every single dish was cooked to perfection. We shared a few dishes and each ordered entrees. Everything was perfect. A bit of sherry after the meal. And Mom’s desserts will always be the best. A family favorite.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our Thanksgiving meal! Turkey was absolutely delicious-loved that you served both dark and white meat. We were impressed with the sweet potato bisque, and whipped potatoes and gravy were also awesome. We had carrot cake and cheese cake for dessert, also delicious. Next year, add a side of cranberry sauce and the meal will be perfect! Servers were extremely courteous and could not have been more obliging to our requests. An overall wonderful dining experience on a day we didn’t care to cook or wash dishes. Also glad we were able to beat the lunch rush! Thanks so much!

    While primarily a good steakhouse, their menu is unusually broad and interesting. I've had both the duck confit and the grouper, both of which were superb. My son had the bison tenderloin, which was exceptionally tender and flavorful I've never seen puttanesca sauce on fish but bet it's great. I look forward to more visits to try every item they offer.
