    Over all Chart House is a great place to eat. The only 2 things I have about last night is, it was a little cold, but it was also snowing outside so that could have been that issue. The steak I had, medium rare, was a little bland at first, but the flavor came when I started to get half way through the steak. I mean it wasn't bad, but I shared with my girlfriend and she agreed at first. But like I said I'm not complaining for what I got. I expected to pay about $300 but didn't know they had a couples special so I ended up spending $221 for the meal and gave a 59$ tip. So I am still happy with everything

    The service was outstanding! Happy Hour menu was great for cocktails and appetizers. Ordered dinner off the regular menu which was very good and considering the large portions and quality of the food, a good value. Would come again.

    The food at Yalla was all delicious, the hummus with burnt ends and radicchio salad to start were so incredibly flavorful. The short ribs, skewers and delicate squash were all wonderful. Cocktails were well made and good wine as well. This place does not disappoint, so lucky to have it so close to home!!!

    Tavern on Kruse has such a great menu with a diverse collection of dishes that I am always sure to find something that I will love. But the Ahi Tuna Burger is the only thing that I have ever ordered. It is absolutely delicious, and the crispy avocado is a special surprise added to it. I hope that they never take this off the menu.
