    Always a great experience dining here. I’ve always dined in the dining room so more of a dining experience that is quieter I imagine then the bar side. I always love a more robust vibe so will have to try sitting over there on my next visit. Service was attentive without hovering and water filled as needed which is always a plus for me. We each had steaks that were cooked to perfection. Rather then having a few glasses of wine I ordered the half bottle of Alexander Valley Merlot which was priced conservatively. My friend had an espresso martini that he said was delicious. We ordered two sides as well. I loved the green beans that were sautéed Al dente which is how I prefer them and was satisfied. Also had a side of garlic mashed that were eaten by my friend and just got a meh. I ended up w half my filet and most of the sides in to go containers. This is a great date spot, celebration spot or just a go to for the best steak around. Highly recommended. And prices are consistent for the quality.

    Everything was delicious, especially the beets appetizer and the risotto. Not a lot of vegetarian options on the menu, but they will modify menu items to accommodate vegetarians. Overall, a lovely place for dinner.
