Simple, quality ingredients produce the best food which they proved. Our server Tyler was lovely and has his timing down - this will be a regular stop for us in future.

We ordered crab cakes as an appettizer. Took quite a long time to come out and when it did they were not good. Just warm and had to use a knife with some force to cut into them. We returned them. The main course arrived almost immediately. That was good. I had braised short ribs on a bed risotto. My wife had the filet with grilled vegetables. These main courses were very good and the steak was cooked to her liking. We finished with the coconut cream pie which was also very nice. So, 2 out of 3 ain't bad right? The late arrival of an inedible appetizer set things in the wrong direction to begin with. We will give this place another try. The service was adequate, but not impressive. They did comp the appetizer and the dessert which was the least they could do as we did not even eat the appetizer.
