    What a nice dining experience. We truly felt spoiled with the decadent food and Incredible wait staff. Our waiter, Chip is a true gentleman and made sure we had a night to remember. We enjoyed a filet mignon with shrimp scampi and the steak was by all accounts the best we ever had. We ended with a cheese cake that was light in texture and simply delicious.

    Great experience! A good steak house that doesn’t have an uptight vibe. Steaks come out sizzling hot and great flavor. Will definitely be coming back

    The service was just passible, it was extremely cold in the restaurant. Steaks had no sear and overcooked. Both shrimp and steak were under seasoned. We’ve been coming to this location since it was opened and tonight was one of the worst experiences.

    We came for our anniversary and were warmly greeted upon arrival. We made a couple requests upon making our reservation and were very pleased to have them met. From start to finish, everything was wonderful. Even when my filet was cooked more than requested, they quickly provided one that was absolutely perfect and delicious!
