We loved how pretty the restaurant was. The waiter and staff were wonderful. My daughter had steak with crusted blue cheese on it. it was very good. she also had crab legs, and loved them. I had the lobster frite My lobster was flavorless and chewy. the fries just ok, and the truffle sauce to put on fries were also flavorless. Asparagus was ok... for desert we had the crème Brule. it was excellent. overall not worth the cost.. for what we paid I expected wonderful tasting foods, so I was a bit disapointed. My daughter loved it. maybe its hit or miss.

Our waitress (Allison)was delightful. She took great care of us and made good recommendations. The steaks were cooked perfectly. Our vegetable sides were wonderful, I highly recommend the firecracker corn! Finally, my crème brûlée was perfect, no burnt sugar on top. Thank you! We will be back.
