    The meat here is amazing. The vegetable sides are a disappointment, the brussel sprouts come with chicken liver, which is not mentioned on the menu. The cauliflower is covered in a cream sauce. The apps are fine, very tiny tuna tartare, and average at best. The chopped salad is really good, but not finely chopped, just a regular salad. The desserts are not special either, we tried 3 and all disappointed. The chocolate chip cookie in the skillet is full of raisins, the coconut cake is dry and so was the mocha cake.

    We had a wonderful experience! Jackson was very attentive and accommodating. Loved the east coast oysters, seared scallop appetizer, and crab cake . You can’t go wrong with the cheesesteak. I’m not a meat lover, but my husband ordered it and I thoroughly enjoyed it as well.

    Service was exceptional, as was the food. I choose the Wagyu cheesesteak served with the half bottle of champagne. Highly recommended!

    Service and food are outstanding. We brought our 10-year-old daughter along for the first time, and the entire staff treated her like royalty. Jaxon was our main server once again; he is always polite and knowledgeable. Glen, who has been our server at least 10 times in the past, stopped over to say hello and catch up. Our experience is always positive, and this was no different.
