We’d suggest this restaurant for dinner with visiting friends from the US. The menu was good but the food was just fine rather than impressive. No flourishes and no garnish so just a steak on a plate with a bowl of chips wasn’t going to wow anybody. The quality was good overall.

Had a wonderful family style dinner for 6 last evening with exceptional service. We tried most of the menu and enjoyed it all, steaks cooked to perfection. Crab cake was so light and delicious and our server absolutely made it a perfect evening!! Hope to visit again someday and definitely will return!
