Our outstanding server was very friendly and helped us order as it was our first time there. She checked on us regularly. The staff also change the grill grates at the table a few times during the meal which helps cook the meat better. The meats were marinated well and the table sauces they provide were tasty.

I love that place. The food is very good, the meats are so yummy. There are kids menus. I like the indoor after the renovation. It looks so cozy and nice. The staff is very friendly. I also like that they have white wine in the menu. I would recommend this place for any occasion or just a casual night out with the family.

The food quality was really bad. They didn’t have proper seating for my toddler, and we had to keep asking for napkins and basic service. Overall, it was not a good experience.
