The sirloin steak was good. The house salad was excellent. The salad with filet mignon was tasty but the salad was drenched with salad dressing . The green vegetable was not crunch fresh. Maybe next time I will order the dressing on the side. We love to come here. Overall a very good restaurant. We will go back.
