    Everything about this experience was phenomenal. From start to finish it was fine dining at peak performance. Our waitress Rose was everything a server should be and the food was some of the best we’ve ever had. We definitely recommend and will be returning.

    Best steaks in town! I had the two petite filets and my husband had the chefs selection. Both could have been cut with a butter knife.

    Wine was pricey for the bottles they carried. Food was very good but not sure I would pay the extra for bone in next time. There will be a next time. We will ask for a booth on our next visit and might consider a wine pairing dinner that was suggested by the chef. Muscles were to die for. Spinach salad is the way to go, not too wet.

    This is a restaurant that can compare with the best in the state. Quality and preparation of the food, as well as the entire staff is outstanding. Many of the employees have been at this restaurant for a long time, some since it opened. Pricing is a little high, but you truly get what you pay for.

    Our server was fabulous. She was uplifting. We were disappointed that they were out of the garlic mashed potatoes. But everything was wonderful.
