Had an amazing time dining here! From the moment we sat down, Kelly made the whole experience feel welcoming and effortless. She was super friendly, really knew the menu, and gave great recommendations. You can tell she genuinely cares about making sure guests have a great time. Made Mom’s birthday extra special. Now, the food – wow. Everything we tried was delicious, but the standouts were definitely the Wagyu Rib Eye and the Dry Aged Wagyu. Both were incredibly flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection. You can really taste the quality in every bite. Honestly, some of the best steak I’ve had in a long time. Between the top-notch service and the amazing food, this place is a total win. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re into high-quality cuts and great vibes. Will 100% be back!
