The entree (foccacia) was amazing, especially the butter. The $25 steak night deal on Thursdays was so worth it, the steak was cooked perfectly, with a generous portion of fries. And to end it, the basque cheesecake was to die for! Additionally, the customer service was excellent! The staff were constantly checking in to see if we were enjoying our food and if we were keen on any drinks.
