    We enjoyed dinner. Food was good and service was fine. Prices are a bit high. Had a nice Caesar Salad. Some fun desserts. I enjoyed an excellent lemon sorbet. Noisy when we first came in but as dinners departed it was easier to converse.

    The food was a bit overpriced for the quality but was still delicious! Definitely feels like a country club but overall it was a very pleasant dinner for us.

    My son ordered the streak and for $40 we were very disappointed in the fact the server did not deduct the steak from our bill. Steak was super fatty, chewy, my son will eat anything but he spit out several pieces. I still tipped 20% because it’s not the server’s fault that it was a bad piece of steak.
