Food was good, steak was cooked a bit more than I like it but was tasty. Wait staff are very friendly and helpful. It’s a nice quite a little bit romantic place to take a date. I’d go again.

Has to be one of the best meals we have had in quite some time. Unfortunately, we do not live in the area, so I doubt a return visit will be made.
