Good food and friendly service. Tables are close together so if you are looking for a private intimate setting, this isn’t it. That being said the restaurant was decorated cute for Mardi Gras and the whole experience was very good! Would highly recommend.

I eat at this restaurant quite often….However, last night (Valentine’s Day) the restaurant was packed and I received some of the best service I have ever gotten there!! Danalia was our server and she was tremendous! The entire staff ran like a well oiled machine! Not one of the managers were standing around….all of them were running food, bussing tables, wiping up the floor….in short, leading by example!! It was such a pleasure dining there and witnessing was great service looked like. WELL DONE!

Great service and excellent steak. Pricing is good for all you eat menu(desert included)!
