    We have dined here on numerous occasions over many years. On our last visit we were celebrating our daughter’s graduation. Our party of 8 ordered the tomahawk steak, fried chicken, salmon, pork chop, and various appetizers and desserts. Presentation and taste were top notch. Everything was great except for a mistake on the wait staff. I’m sure it was an honest mistake but after we arrived home and realized what happened I called the restaurant back to let them know. The manager looked into it and went above and beyond in service recovery. He was very gracious and thanked me for our loyalty over the years and invited us to come back and give them another chance. We finally had a chance to return, this time to celebrate a birthday. After we were seated the manager came over to personally introduce himself and again was very gracious and ensured we were taken care of. Again, the food did not disappoint. The very first time I tried the bone marrow appetizer many years ago, I thought it was just okay. The family wanted to try it and this time it was much tastier than I remembered. The smoky tomato butter and jam really elevated the dish. Would absolutely order this again! The king salmon was crispy on the outside yet tender and perfectly medium on the inside. Tomahawk steak had a nice char and accompanied by a delicious sauce and crispy potatoes . Daughter doesn’t eat shrimp but she loved the paella. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and had a wonderful combination of flavors that worked well together. Service was top notch and I truly appreciate the manager (I’m terrible with names) for making us feel like valued patrons.
