We didn’t know what to expect, but were more than impressed. We decided to do the tableside experience and it was amazing. Our waitress/chef was pleasant and talented while providing us with dinner and a “show” and putting our delicious meal together. The entire restaurant was professional and courteous. This will definitely be somewhere that we will be receiving our patronage in the future.

The ambiance was nice, staff great and the food amazing. If you’re fond of table side service you’ll love it. Reminds me of Harrahs Steakhouse. We had table side Cesar Salad and Banana Foster, both were amazing. The steak dinner with baked potato and a side of asparagus was delicious, perfect. Can’t wait to go back and experience this great restaurant again!

If you want to wait three hours for a salty steak, this place is for you. Our meal took forever, came out overcooked, waited for it to get re-cooked and then came out very salty. Disappointed as we were looking forward to eating here. Won’t be trying it again for a very long time.

The actual food was pretty darn good. We were impresssd with the dinner portions and quality of fod. Wine selection and value was very reasonable. The issue I have, is when I go To a fine dining restaurant and spend a considerable amount of money, I do NOT want to hear wait staff swearing, end of story, period. I expect to be greeted at the door or at least at the hostess stand within a short amount of time of arriving. This didn’t happen to my party or to others we witnessed coming into the restaurant. I know there are some kinks to be worked out, but these are pretty big. If you want an upscale experience- I suggest looking elsewhere for now. I do think that the staff tried hard, but as the bus boy said “I’m only as good as my leadership”
