    This is one of my favorite restaurants and this may have been our best experience here yet. The food is fantastic. The steak is always cooked perfectly, it melts in your mouth like butter. This time our waiter was Don, and I credit Don with making our experience more enjoyable. My wife and I have not been out since before our son was born and this night not only signified that, but it was her birthday celebration. Don was a great waiter, perfect balance of checking in on us but not overbearing. He ensured our evening was perfect. Great food, great service. We will back!

    Before coming here I heard they had great steaks/food. I also read it was ranked as a top steakhouse in CT. Expectations were met. I would highly recommend. The steaks were perfectly cooked. Our waitress was also great. She explained the menu, all the way down to the different butters, kept our drinks full, and even though we didn’t order desert brought a nice treat with a birthday candle. It was very nice and great customer service.
