The service was good. The wait staff continued to return to the table to check in, which was a positive. Went for the steak special. It was good, a bit grizzly, but cooked well and tasty. The chips were good, and the salad left a lot to be desired. It is certainly a good place; however, I would keep exploring rather than driving 20 minutes to return.
