    We arrived at happy hour and stayed through dinner. We started with the spinach dip and ceviche. Both delicious. I had the happy hour old fashion which was smooth and delicious. My husband had the aged ribeye and I had the flatiron steak for dinner. We agreed that I had the better steak. Although a little salty, it was juicy and tender. Great flavor. We had creme brulee for dessert. Not bad but not fabulous. It was more pasty than silky smooth & not enough sugar on top to crack. We will try something else next time.
