It was outstanding (food and service) We ordered the 22 oz Ribeye, potato with cavier and cream, Brussel sprouts, and fried rice. It was a sufficient amount of food. We would definitely return! The only thing - It was my husband’s birthday and I guess they forgot to wish him or offer any kind of dessert. Other than that, the service was great!
