    Outstanding service! Waitress was very personable, helpful and knowledgeable. She had a great sense of humor as well. (Unfortunately I don’t remember her name). Nice “old school” steakhouse decor and vibe. Food was very good. We had NY strip and filet mignon with baked potato and au gratin potatoes. Started off with wedge salad and split pea soup - both very good.

    Food and cocktails excellent, relatively quiet atmosphere and a pleasant experience. Easy to make reservations and our booth was immediately ready for us on arrival. Service was very good, our waitress was sweet, helpful, attentive, and very familiar with the menu. Only negative was a longer than usual wait time to serve our entrees.
