Just got into town, and this place was recommended to us. Once we walked in, we knew we had made the correct t choice. Everyone was so friendly to us, including Jose, who was assisting the server. They were very busy but did not miss a beat. Even the manager came over to check on how we were doing. Great food combined with great service

It took forever to get our food or refills, and my pasta was dry and way overpriced.

First time visitors and we were really pleased with the choice. We were late for our reservation and called in to let them know. The gracious response set the stage and they even saved our requested booth for us. All the steaks and lamb chops were perfectly prepared and accurate in the temperatures. The appetizers were great--tuna tartare, calamari and the bread loaf. Just an overall lovely dinner with a nice birthday treat and candle. Would definitely return!

Steaks and sides were great, and service. Entree salads were mediocre. Great place to go before a show.

This was our first time here, and every choice was delicious. I will definitely be back. The food was fresh and seasoned perfectly. Your porkchop entrée with mushrooms absolutely did not disappoint. I originally was going with the lamb, but the set accompanying the pork was more of what I wanted. After appetizer, soup & entrée we had no time left for dessert. The course time between our soup/appetizer did take a while. But we were fine. Service was good. Though as a first-time guest, it would have been lovely if the server guided us more with the menu or recommended something. The host stand was very pleasant when we arrived. The bathrooms were clean. We parked for the show, and it was only a 2 min walk away.

It was a Monday at dinner time. My steak was a little to char on the outside for my liking. Serving was good
