The Chimichurri sauce is the best and most delicious I have ever had! The Prime Rib Eye Cap is an exceptional tasting cut, flavorful, creamy and tender. It is cooked to perfection with a crispy crust and red juicy center. The French Fries are also some of the best. We live in New York and this was the second time we went there within a week. Everything else we ate from the appetizers, salads and dessert were also exceptional. I wish the restaurant was in New York. The ambience is warm and inviting and the staff is extremely attentive, especially the owners and chef.

This is a GEM. Run don’t walk. One of the best filets I’ve had. Super tender, great seasoning. The mashed potatoes were also amazing. Very rich and creamy. The ambiance was lovely - well lit, tasteful Christmas decorations, and live music playing softly in the background. The entire waitstaff was also very knowledgeable and on top of it. I can’t wait to go back.
