As always, greeted warmly and seated promptly. Our server (Taniel H) was very personable and made our experience enjoyable. Food was fabulous (Mesquite bowl & Mac n Cheese) with great portions on both. One of our favorite local places to dine and never disappoints!

We had a wonderful evening we ordered the two flatbreads and they were amazing. They were enough so we didn’t have to order a meal. A few cocktails to end the evening outside was fabulous. Will definitely go back. Our server Abby was great, attentive and friendly, would ask for her again. Overall top notch place. Can’t wait to go back.

This was the first time going to proper chophouse. Went with two other guys. Ordered a fillet and a strip steak as well as the pork chop all three were cooked perfectly and were delicious. Wait staff was very, very friendly and helpful. Sides were good as well, had the mushrooms and the corn pudding. A little pricey, but good value and good atmosphere!
