    Delicious food. Outstanding service. Best steak I’ve ever had! We will be back. We were celebrating our anniversary and they added a special touch of the rose petals and card on our table. With a complimentary dessert! Cheesecake was amazing.

    The food was good. The steak (Chateaubriand) was probably the biggest disappointment of all the menu items. It seemed a little tough for Med Rare. The Mac and cheese, meatball, bread and wedge was great! The service was fantastic. The wine by the glass options were good to pair with the steak.

    Our waitress gave top tier service! Her recommendations did not disappoint, came her for my husband’s birthday, and he really enjoyed his steak! They even surprised him with a birthday card on our reserved table! I thought that was a really nice touch! Would recommend this place to friends and family, and we will definitely be returning
