    We went for the buy one get one fillet mignon. The steaks were excellent. Our waiter john was a delight. The strawberry sangria was sweet and packed a punch in the best possible way. We also had the maple bacon brussel sprouts and the garlic mashed potatoes, both were excellent. We will be going back.

    Christmas Eve dinner. Festive, lively atmosphere without being too loud for easy conversation. Service was excellent, beginning with the accommodation of a late addition guest. Staff was there for every need and question yet never made us feel rushed—even though our meal went past closing. I expected great food and was not disappointed. Oysters were particularly good and French-pressed coffee always adds a great finishing touch. My teenagers had a great time and have a new appreciation for real food. Highly recommend.
