From the host to the service to the food - all was top notch. One of the best salads (beet & strawberry w microgreens) and steaks I've ever had (NY strip with pickled peppers on the side - because they were spicy!). The hosts were friendly and efficient and the server was great - kind and knowledgeable about all cuts and preparations of meat. Sat in the heated covered patio which was very comfortable. Noise level was low though we age late and it was only half full at that time. Can't wait to return!
