    We have only been here twice with friends, and will be returning. I had the prime rib both times. It was done to perfection, served by a wonderful server in a welcoming environment, and at a reasonable price. My creme brûlée desert and lemon drop martinis topped off this great meal.

    Outstanding service! Waitress was very personable, helpful and knowledgeable. She had a great sense of humor as well. (Unfortunately I don’t remember her name). Nice “old school” steakhouse decor and vibe. Food was very good. We had NY strip and filet mignon with baked potato and au gratin potatoes. Started off with wedge salad and split pea soup - both very good.
