We had a good experience with our lunch with Ears. The servers were great and food was excellent. Only think we had bit issue was with the seating arrangement, it was bit small and we had to squeeze.

My experience at Alice was absolutely top-notch! The service exceeded expectations, and the tomahawk steaks were incredibly well-priced for the quality. I learned they’re wet-aged for 45 days, which really shows in the flavor. I’ll definitely be back. The best part? The kitchen offers a steak late into the night!
