    This is one of my fav places to eat out. Sure the place is a bit loud but that was not the problem. The server was SO pushy and loud. He tried to upsell every possible item he could. We told him multiple times that we did not want liquor or other drinks. After he finally got the message he said well it not a law you have to have a drink. The server should take a hint. Not everybody drinks.

    I’ve always had great meals here, but our steaks were dry and flavorless. Martini glasses were filled half full, which was disappointing.

    Never felt rushed. Service was excellent. A bit disappointed they didn’t have a certain wine vintage. Food had a very nice presentation but a little over priced for the entrees. All in all… A restaurant I would return to and recommend to others. Always feel welcomed.

    Had a 4:30 reservation, was taken on time Sever Don was great. From there, it went downhill. Au Gratin Potatoes were dry and over cooked. Both Center-Cut Filet Mignon were dry with no flavor. Mine was over-cooked and my wifw;s was tough. Very disappointing as every time we been there, there hasn't been any issues

    Wonderful birthday dinner from start to finish! Martini’s were a good start and delicious blue cheese house chips, then the steaks ~ cooked to perfection. Baked potatoes and Mac and cheese were exceptional and I can never say enough about the corn, just phenomenal. A wonderful slice of carrot cake for dessert and both of us had leftovers to enjoy the next day. Definitely recommend for a fabulous evening out or any special occasion!
