We had not been there in 5 years and it was amazing as always. We def wont be waiting another 5 years for our next visit. Dirk provided great service. We had the amazing crab cocktail as an app which both the mustard and cocktail sauces were not wasted. We tried 32oz porterhouse for 2 and it was a real winner (gotta add that truffle butter). We were celebrating my wife's birthday and they provided a complimentary birthday treat which was a homemade vanilla ice cream on top of a chocolate shell on top of a brownie. It was the perfect size for two "full" people to share after a big meal.

The goud is always great here. The charcuterie board was amazing. Lots of items and good portions. The potato bravas are so good! The garlic shrimp came out bubbling hot and so tasty. The croquettes were delicious as was the crab stuffed peppers. The French toast and eggs Benedict entrees were both delicious.
