    Valentine night. Was alerted late in the day of an opening which fit perfectly in our theatre evening plan. Sat upstairs very nice table. Great server and management oversight was constantly gauging our timing for theatre time as well as the overall management of the busy evening. Smoked old fashion cool looking and delicious. My wife and I shared a wedge salad. Perfectly balanced and delicious. Appropriate size for us to share. We also shared the 12 oz NY strip and the creme brûlée. Both were delicious and well worth the price! The wine selection was good and our choices hit the spot. We enjoy the prix fix menu and will return.

    My girlfriend and I had an excellent experience here for our date night wonderful ambiance, excellent food and friendly service. I am particularly picking about hollandaise sauce but the one they serve with the asparagus as a side for the filet mignon was one of the best I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Would recommend 10/10 to anyone.
