Fri night 715 was lively. Bar seats all taken which is what we prefer. We were seated at a nice table by window to watch the wintery scene and holiday lights. Steaks were good- Filet and NY strip, excellent potatoes and veggies but heavy buttery and savory . Not terribly healthy but once in awhile while traveling- its ok. Espresso Martinis for dessert Excellent location

The food and service are always good here. It’s a little loud but a great place to watch sports as well. I’m ready for them to update their menu. Kind of tired of the same old thing.
