After seeing a Tik Tok I really wanted a great place to take my wife on our 33yd anniversary of our first date. This place did not disappoint! Food was outstanding and the service is on point! We could've stopped at the petite appetizer. It was huge! Dry aged rib eye and filet were delicious. Crème brûlée big enough to share. We will be back but will be sharing plates. The portions are huge.
