    Wow, Wow, Wow. Our first visit to the fabulous steak house and it will not be our last. The best Filet. The sides are so generous and delicious. Particularly loved the Fingerling potato. Steaks were perfectly seasoned and the bearnaise sauce was generous enough for two. Drinks were excellent and the service was 5 stars. I cannot thank you enough for making our Valentine's Day so fun and memorable.

    Been here a few times in the last month with clients. Always great food at this location and service is top notch. One thing that blows my mind though is they don't have ribeye's. I ended up choosing the tenderloin, which was really good, but I just love the ribeye! Everything else was great, thank you!
