    Had a wonderful experience once again. The food was delicious and prepared exactly as requested. Danny was our server and Marco the busier. Both did an exceptional job. Our food came to the table and we were able to enjoy a leisurely meal. We believe Scott is the GM. Thank you to all of you.

    We arrived at 7 PM for our reservation. We were greeted by 2 staff members and went immediately to our table. The wait staff were very attentive and answered our questions to our satisfaction. We ordered a cheese board and the suggested wine by our server. The cheese board had a good variety of items and was well presented and very tasty. Our rib eye and filet mignon were cooked to perfection and had a great flavor. We also ordered a different wine per our servers suggestion. Overall it was an excellent first impression and service.
