Went here for an anniversary and was not disappointed. We had a great time and the food was amazing. I got the Brinkley's ribeye and my wife got the filet. Bour steaks were cooked perfectly and the sides were great. The bread and butter was delicious too. Service was phenominal. Our waitress was attentive and gave good recommendations on the food. It's not somewhere we can afford all the time (even though the cost was completely worth it) but it was perfect for a celebration.

Cuban sandwich was delicious, as was the shrimp and grits. Mimosa flight was amazing, the guava flavor is a must try! Service could have been a little better, but it was a good experience. Food was great!
