    It was outstanding (food and service) We ordered the 22 oz Ribeye, potato with cavier and cream, Brussel sprouts, and fried rice. It was a sufficient amount of food. We would definitely return! The only thing - It was my husband’s birthday and I guess they forgot to wish him or offer any kind of dessert. Other than that, the service was great!

    Great service and food as always. Had a girls lunch date scheduled for 12:15pm. We had some food and drinks and were taking our time, enjoying our lunch. The manager found his way to our table, started cleaning and reaching over and around us, saying nothing. We assumed they were ready for us to leave but it make things super uncomfortable for us all. We asked if they were ready for us to leave and they didn’t acknowledge us and continued cleaning over and around us. Hated this part.
