Our dinner was very tasty. We both ordered the filets with blue cheese crust. They were cooked just right, had good flavor and tender. Calamari was seasoned different but was very good. Overall the experience was enjoyable. We had a very good food server. I thought the music type did not add to the restaurant ambiance.

Amazing dining experience with our 9 and 12 year old boys for our 17th anniversary. Our waitress was wonderful and attentive (and complimentary of our kiddos). The food was delicious. It was a "don't hold back" date night out, so the 9 year old enjoyed the most delicious prime rib and creme brulee while the 12 year old loved his special ' double shrimp' pasta and baked Alaska. Trio Meatloaf and the filet also were very tasty. We already have plans to come back for the next special family occasion to try the BLT pizza and other desserts we missed!
