Excellent food and service. Although expensive, you're paying for an excellently cooked steak. My recommendation is to not get any sauce add-ons. The steak is perfect on its own. And five bucks for a tiny bit of gravy is not a good value. Onion straws were really good, and the sides were good as well (we had asparagus and whipped potatoes).

My wife and I went for our 22nd anniversary. It was our first time here and we were very pleased with our experience. We made reservations foe 5:15 and we're about 15 min early and we were seated immediately. Our server was excellent explaining the menu and all the options including the spe ials that were not on the menu. We ordered an appetizer each which came pretty quick and as we finished up them our entrees arrived just a few minutes later. Everything was timed perfectly and we did not wait a long time in between. Food was excellent and cooked to perfection. We were full by the end of our meal so when our waitress asked about dessert we had to decline. However because it was our Anniversary she boxed up a piece of cake to go which we enjoyed later on that night. Overall wonderful experience and we will definitely come back again, I highly recommend this restaurant.
