Three of us tonight. Seated promptly and served our initial drinks. Calamari was great done to perfection. Two of us had prime rib. Just melted in your mouth. Our other Party had a filet cooked to order. Three sides: baked potato that was the size of a house fed us all. Sautéed spinach and mushrooms. Wheel me out now! But wait ... cherries jubilee for dessert. Always great food and a great time.

Celebrated my birthday with my adult kids. Restaurant was aware it was my birthday and did a lot to make it special. Complimentary shareable dessert. All of the food was stellar and the timing of serving of each course was perfect. Wine list was excellent. It was maybe a bit noisy. The ambient music was pleasant.

We had a fabulous time. We mentioned that our beet salad was not warm. ( Cold was delicious anyway. ) Chef / owner immediately replaced it. Came to the table and apologized that it should never be served cold then took it off the bill. We told him it was not necessary to do so. He told us he expects meals to be perfect. My wife and I have dined here many times and have never been disappointed. Great staff. My favorite restaurant by far.
