   We love this place and will keep going back! The servers are all great and they take great care of my 8 yr old son. The food is great and the French onion soup is the best we have ever had!

   It was our 18th wedding anniversary and we were greeted and congratulated by at least 3 different people. The Anniversary card and champagne toast was also a very heartwarming touch as well thank you! Our server was fantastic and very attentive to us throughout. Our food was delicious and we brought home enough for another meal. We couldn’t have had asked for a nicer evening.

   Food was very good, excellent choices especially if you are looking for steak, more limited options if you want an alternative to steak. The tomato basil soup was amazing, as was the chocolate bombe dessert

   Our service started a little rough but after they remembered they seated us it started great. We celebrated our anniversary and got cute little things I never seen other restaurants do. My boyfriend got the New York steak with the works and he loved it but was jealous of my surf and turf. That was the best lobster I have ever had in my life. We will be going again

We appreciate your understanding and are happy to hear your boyfriend loved the New York Strip too. Can't wait to have you both back for another great meal!

   The food was quick and delicious. The service was fair but nothing super exceptional. Steak and deserts were fantastic, drinks were stiff. Especially the Brandi Alexander martini. Overall a great experience and fantastic value for what you get.

   With our reservations we were seated promptly and our drink order was instantly taken and delivered. Jasmine was our server and we never felt rushed as she was great. Our salads and entrees were fabulous. Totally enjoyable experience all around!

   Everyone was friendly and everything tasted fantastic. Service was very good and attentive even though we were in a kind of hidden booth.
