    Great food as always and we were able to get seated earlier than our reservation, as we got there early. We’re disappointed that we did not get our requested server, Jennifer J, but we did see her there.

    We sat outside, it was a bit chili, not enough heaters. I think during the chili times, you should move tables closer together to share heaters. Otherwise, everything was terrific!

    Our appetizer, steak bites, was excellent and our New Years Eve special filets were perfectly cooked and very tasty. We each had a different bourbon and rye flight, both which were very good. We will be back soon.

    My Lovely wife ordered Salmon on a bed of creamy herb rice. Salmon was fishy, rice was great. I ordered Ribeye. Rib eye was very tender, had a strange hint of charcoal starter taste. The herb mashed potatoes were awesome. The other couple ate rib eye and a variety dish. The gentlemans Rib eye had the same flavour, charcoal starter ( yet no all of either steak had the total taste of starter) very strange. The other lady ordered the variety plate. All was great except the Waygu beef Strip taste like fish. Kitchen did recook an entire variety plate (cost $78.00) without charge. The appetizers were great and our waitress was exceptional.

    We loved eating here Christmas Eve! We sat outside and it was perfect—nice and cool along with a heater. The steak trio was excellent, the waiter was wonderful, and the drinks we had were delicious as well. I loved the Blackberry drink that was featured, as well as the chocolate martini. My hysband loved the Old-fashioned, as well as the Peanut Butter Bliss. The sommelier even came out to deliver the drinks and answered our questions about them. We will definitely be back again
