Maybe just an off night but the filet was absolutely tasteless and service not what it used to be. My wife's salmon was good

We enjoyed a celebratory lunch for our grad and our dads on Father’s Day. Food was amazing, our server Joanna was attentive and paced our meal nicely, and we were seated in a private room that made it easier for our elderly family members to hear our conversations. Highly recommended.

Seating inside was noisy. There aren’t a lot of tables inside and doors were open but it was still pretty loud. Acoustics could be improved Quieter outside than in. Otherwise food and service were very good.

Such a fun girl’s night out. My friend and I indulged in so many tasty gluten-free goodies. Our server Joe was an absolute sweetheart. Rock on, Joe!

Food was very rich & covered in a lot of heavy sauces, dressing, etc. You couldn’t even taste the squash in the appetizer because of all the sauces and tempura over powering it. We had hoped for lighter, healthier options

This place is probably one of the easiest to get a reservation at and that always surprises me. Every time I go there, I get an excellent meal. The menu changes and their specials are always excellent.
