    Valentines dinner was ok, we had steak and lobster with the polenta. Just the sauce was overpowering the steak and lobster flavors. You could only taste the sauce 😅

    The steak was so spicy they had to bring out some milk. There should be a disclaimer. The MAC burger was not good with a stake bun. I should have stuck with their fried chicken (amazing dish). Service was great as always. The wait time was not acceptable when she kept saying to people we will sit u when we have available tables. I guess they didn’t realize we can see that at 4:30 75% of the tables are open! Also it’s fun hearing one girl tell some callers 15-20 min wait right now (after we had been waiting 25 min)and then another says let’s just tell everyone 2 hours that calls since its valentines. Not a good look when u can hear them not be consistent and utterly confused. Others around us were just eyeing each other about how much confusion there was among the hostess/host.
