Food was excellent! The Prime Rib special on Monday was amazing and honestly perfect for 2 people. It came with salad and tiramisu which was to die for. The wings, truffle fries and spinach and artichoke dip were fabulous. Service was slow on a Monday night. Nothing terrible to complain about. Will be coming back and telling our friends!

We had a very nice round table for 7 people. Appetizers and most entrees were delicious. The tuna entree missed the mark. The tuna itself was lacking flavor and the kimchi noodles were too spicy and didn’t seem to pair well with the tuna.
