    The food was absolutely amazing. We started with oysters, which were fresh and flavorful, and followed with a hearty bowl of seafood gumbo that was perfectly seasoned. For entrées, we tried the chicken mushroom linguine and the salmon—both dishes were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Our waiter was attentive and honest, even mentioning that the bar service was a bit slow that evening. To make up for it, they graciously offered us a complimentary dessert. While the gesture was unnecessary, it was certainly appreciated and capped off an already stellar meal. The combination of exceptional food and thoughtful service made this an unforgettable dining experience. I’ll definitely be back!

    It was my Dads 70th birthday and we did pick the right steakhouse for the special occasion. From the moment we arrived, there was a valet parking that is so convenient specially during cold night of December. Our table is set with a nice touch of small cute birthday decor . Then our waiter for the night Jimmy introduce himself. The service is excellent, they will explain and answer your question regarding the menu. They don't rush you and want you to just enjoy the food and the whole dining experience. We didn't order dessert since we are really full but Jimmy did bring out a small dessert for my dad with 70th birthday written in chocolate. It was our very first time and will not be our last.

    Food was delicious and drink was good. Service was terrible. Waiter was uninterested and didnt want to be there. He did not introduce himself and never check on us. Other servers were having to do his work. Unfortunate because food is so good.
