    The food was amazing! The steak was literally, like butter. The caesar salad was delicious, dressing had just the right amount of tang. We had the lobster Mac n cheese, smashed red potatoes and brussel sprouts. Would repeat every one of these dishes! The cherry crème brûlée was unique but not outlandish! Loved the luxardo cherries on top! Our waitress was lovely, made great recommendations and checked on us often. Will definitely be back.

    The NY Strip was amazing as was the lobster Mac and cheese. Happy hour drinks are of great value and the service with Katie was attentive and friendly!

    The food was excellent, the server was very sweet, and the patio was very warm and inviting. While we did wait long for the food, it was worth it. Great experience.

    While Sitting outside there was plenty of heaters that kept you warm and not needing extra jackets when the temperatures outside were cold. All the sides were great portions!

    An amazing dining experience. The servers are knowledgeable and excellent, and the food is wonderful. I was expecting a higher bill at the end for the quality of our experience/meal. Will be going again for sure!
