    My experience here at this location was an absolute nightmare, I watched how the restaurant was segregated, that was a major issue for me and for the restaurant staff to allow it is even worst. I watched how people were seated and then moved to a new seating (white people only section). I also don’t mind spending money, but when the food is not worth it I have an issue and to have a waiter who was not fully attentive to us to show us where gratuity is, we absolutely see it, and for that a tip was not provided especially what I observed as a racist restaurant. You have to watch what the public eye can bluntly see. When the ignorance is addressed and not publicly displayed the reviews might be a little more pleasant.

    The food & service was excellent. The rating for the noise level wasn’t bad at all I just felt like its wasn’t quite but it definitely wasn’t noisy we were able to carry on a conversation without raising are voice.

    If you want an amazing fillet mignon, look no further. I recommend medium rare.
