    The food was good. The steak (Chateaubriand) was probably the biggest disappointment of all the menu items. It seemed a little tough for Med Rare. The Mac and cheese, meatball, bread and wedge was great! The service was fantastic. The wine by the glass options were good to pair with the steak.

    Our waitress gave top tier service! Her recommendations did not disappoint, came her for my husband’s birthday, and he really enjoyed his steak! They even surprised him with a birthday card on our reserved table! I thought that was a really nice touch! Would recommend this place to friends and family, and we will definitely be returning

    My wife and I came here for our anniversary. The service is always top notch and the food was great. Highly recommend the baked goat cheese appetizer. I believe our waiters name was Brennan. He was very attentive and made our dining experience a pleasant one. I would also recommend the Mac and cheese as a side. The steak was perfect! We’ll definitely be coming back.

    Lobster tail was mediocre. Fish and chips were okay, but greasier than normal. Roasted artichoke was good. Service was very good. Would not return.
