Headed here with friends to celebrate a birthday. The food was fantastic especially the soup but our waiter was pushy initially with the ordering up front even after we had stated we had not been here before. They comped our dessert which was nice however the wine list was overpriced in comparison the both chain and local steak houses of similar standards.

Had a gift card to use. Very crowded, high noise level, too cold due to A/C. Food and service was great. Not likely to return since there are at least two other steak houses with equally excellent food and significantly better ambiance and service.

Main issue was a steak ordered at medium came out rare. It happens, but the time it took to get it back from the kitchen was a bit long. Onion rings were barely cooked also. Everything else was very solid, not out of this world like I was expecting. I’d return and hope for perfection.

We celebrated her 40th birthday with dinner at this historic restaurant. It never disappoints. Truly the best service to compliment the unforgettable food. The staff signed a birthday card for her and it’s the small things like this that make it worth the visit.

We were celebrating our parents 60th Anniversary and I would’ve thought they would’ve made a bigger deal out of it than just a card, which was nice don’t get me wrong, but complimentary dessert, visit from a group of servers to wish them well would’ve been nice. Just a suggestion. Also steaks were good but not as fabulous as they’ve always been before. Not sure what happened there. Paying $50ish dollars for a Filet. It should be like cutting butter.
