Great meal from start to finish, Isaiah our server was spot on with recommendations and pairings, hostess was prompt, drinks were great and the steak was cooked to perfection. We’ll be back - so much so that as we left we made follow on reservations! The place was just a little noisy only because there was live music going on and it did not distract from the atmosphere.

As usual excellent service and excellent food. Impressed that when my wife had an issue with one of her dishes and told it to the bus boy he immediately addressed the issue instead of, like most restaurants, telling her to speak to our server. It is one of our favorite restaurants, if not our favorite.
