We went for a birthday and it was so worth it. We got the bacon appetizer to share and it was to die for. The birthday boys got the Australian New York wagyu, the girlfriends got the scallops (special) and steak salad. All very solid options. The sides were pretty good portions so I would recommend 2-3/couple and you’ll still probably have leftovers. Desserts were so good. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.

The meal was actually five stars but I was disappointed in the mussels special which was really quite tasteless. I usually eagerly use bread to enjoy a savory mussel/garlic/butter sauce but this one lacked any flavor. On the other hand, the grilled Caesar salad, duck, and scallops were outstanding in creative flavors and presentation. The menu and cocktails were varied and interesting. The server was eager to please and informative of the popular dishes.
