Our waitress was a little disappointing as she brought coffee to the table without any any creamer or sweeteners and no spoon to stir the coffee and then we had to wait too long just for those items. She had no problem bringing the check within 30 seconds after we asked for it. Very disappointing. But the food was amazing as usual.

We come at least quarterly to the restaurant. We had a Prime Rib order that was overdone. The GM recognized and rectified it right away. Always a solid experience
