We had a wonderful experience celebrating a birthday. We booked ahead of time and when we arrived at the restaurant, they had decorated the table. Food and cocktails were very good. I had the bone-in prime rib and my partner had the 12oz fillet mignon. They were perfectly cooked and seasoned. We also had a dirty martini and Brooklyn for cocktails. We shared a Grand Marnier Soufflé that was baked perfectly. We would definitely go again

Amazing bloody mary and mimosa bar, almost a meal in themselves! We were celebrating a birthday, which got us a free photo booth token and dessert to share. I didn't realize how big this place is! We were seated in the quieter dining side, but the live music playing in the other area wasn't too loud. Looks like a nice happy hour, too, so we'll have to return soon for that!

Halibut with miso ginger sauce was excellent. Our waitress also made some exceptional oyster recommendations which we enjoyed very much. Everything was fresh and very tasty. Highly recommended.

A very good combination of well prepared meats with a salad bar and good service. The only bad point was the music, which was a little bit louder than what I’d like to have. Don’t miss the cheese bread and cooked bananas they serve.

Our server Katie was amazing and funny however we didn’t feel the food was worth the price. Salmon with no real sides just squash underneath it. Only 2 tacos per order.
