I was really disappointed. The "wagyu" steak looked like a Denny's steak. I was charged for a second glass of wine, which I said no to and they brought anyway. I was double charged $16 for fries that were not ordered. I was told I had a choice of fries or caesar with my burger and I chose salad and was charged $3.00. I was charged an additional customer service fee for $10. When I told the waiter I was double charged for fries, he said he took it off, but brought me three receipts to sign which all included the extra fries. It was awful to be charged like that for mediocre food. I would never go back. The food is gross, you can get better food from Texas Roadhouse. Do not waste your money or time.

There were two people in my party with dietary restrictions. I called to ensure there were options for them the menu does not indicate vegetarian or gluten free. One of my party is pescatarian so I specifically asked about fish options. I also left a specific note in the reservation request. I was told there were gluten free options and always a fish on the menu. The menu is small, and there were few gluten free options, no gf entrees. There was no fish and the seafood options all had either meat or gluten. We did not stay so I cannot comment on the quality of food, but had the person I spoke with been more forth coming about the limited options I would not have gone there. If you are a vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian or gluten free this might not be a good place for you. The server was great, she tried everything she could to find us something that met our needs.
