Jose was our server. Him and his team rocked it. We had calamari for an appetizer. It was on our table in no time flat. It arrived with our martini, traditional and French. We split a Caesar Salad, with the cool forks of course. Our beginning was very good. We got a bottle of red wine with our meal. We had a fillet and a rib eye with spinach and Flemings Potatoes. They were awesome. We topped off the night with the gooey cake. We are always impressed with the staff. They work well as a team. Yes, we’ll go back. Don’t forget to ask for Jose.
