    I had graduation dinner here and ordered the striploin A5. It was potentially the most tender and well prepared wagyu I’ve ever had.

    We came here for a graduation dinner and had a wonderful experience. We were seated in a small room upstairs, so the noise from downstairs did not affect us and we were able to enjoy the delicious food and company. The service was impeccable and we even received a free ice cream at the end with a chocolate congratulations on top!

    Great service, good food. It's a lovely fine dining restaurant. The shrimp cocktail was amazing. The steaks were delicious and perfectly done. The biggest baked potato! There is an extensive wine menu and fun mocktails too.

    Exceptional food and service! Visited with a large group on Mother's Day and despite how busy the restaurant was, service was top notch. Our waitress, Olivia, was outstanding and management was very professional in ensuring our satisfaction. Worth the splurge!
