Food great service great. Always know what to expect as food is always prepared the same way every time. We drink rum and selection for rum was limited. That was our only disappointment. But great in every way. Waiter was very attentive and friendly.

Wonderful experience all around. Edgar, out waiter was attentive and cooperative in our requests. Our date was an anniversary that we did not announce but Edgar apparently overheard us and surprised us with a complimentary desert that was delicious. Definitely returning.

The menu cover was not clean. My steak: when steaks are shown in a case to the customer, the steak you receive should be the same size. My steak seemed to be much thinner than the display steaks. My meal was only warm, not hot as if it was prepared and it sat. My husband’s prime rib was a bit tough. Lastly, we were seated in a tight corner. Needed to actually move the table to get in and out. It was also weird how we faced another couple on one side and had another customer’s back next to me. Just weird.
