    Appetizers came out and were the star of the show. Same with the garlic bread. Steaks have a lot to be desired but other entrees like ahi ahi and catfish were tasty. But a place known for steaks those should be the best meals on menu. I had 8 oz filet and my son had 14 oz aged ribeye. His ribeye was so fatty, which the cut does have fat, he literally had trouble cutting it. Our waiter Matt was fantastic which allowed us to enjoy dinner. Otherwise not worth the price.

    Have eaten here before but more often at sister restaurant Chophouse in Chapin. Seated on time for reservation. Wait staff was great. Wedge salads up to par---Very good Seared tuna was good but sauce with it was much sweeter than I remember. My wife had the crab cake app for dinner....hard to find any crab in it and was mostly bread. Would not recommend this dish. (told it was mostly crab----not).

    The steak was very dry and flavorless, as if it had been sitting out for a while. In the end, I opted to bring it back home and give it to my dog. In the end, I opted to bring it back home and give it to my dog. There is no handicap bathroom very unsafe for people with disabilities. This is the only bad review I’ve ever left at all the restaurants we eat at once a week. This is the only bad review.
