    Absolutely one of the best steak dinners and dining experiences we have enjoyed. The steak was perfect in every way and complimented with delicious sides and topped with a crab/lobster/bearnaise! The sommelier paired the dinner with a modest robust red much to our liking. The wait staff was superior. Highly recommended.

    We had a great experience for Valentines Day. The atmosphere, service, food and music were outstanding. The Sax performance throughout the dinner was very pleasing and he engaged with us all while he walked around and played. We ate the Valentine’s menu and it was really good. The only thing was, we were not able to substitute the dessert with another. We are not big Tiramisu so we wanted to substitute it, but the Valentine menu was set and there was no substitutes. However I would still rate 5stars. We will be back. Thank you to our waiter Sean and staff.

    My wife and I went in for Valentines Day and everything was on point! The service Lindsey provided was great and the food that was recommended was just as good. We had drinks, appetizers (the oysters and scallops were 10/10), entrees and dessert. This was our first time visiting but definitely will not be the last!
