    We had a fantastic meal. Quite possibly the best rib eye and lobster tail ever. Excellent service and a quiet and pleasant ambiance. Highly recommended.

    We loved our waitress! Tuna appetizer was good, brie and mushrooms also tasty. Our steaks were great, shrimp and grits were tasty. Personally I was sad about potato options/ but I’m a potato head!! Scalloped weren’t true ( more like mashed potatoes with a crust and some cheese) mashed were bland and who wants fries with a rib eye! Dessert options weren’t appealing - overall yummy steaks and apps, in a comfy cozy clubby atmosphere/ can see why locals love it!
