What you get for your money here makes everything worth it. It’s a beautiful restaurant with impeccable service. The servers are welcoming and warm and eager to make your meal enjoyable. They stay and cook your meets on the grill and help serve all of your food the whole meal. The portions of EVERYTHING are enormous. The meats are 16 oz servings so when you look at the prices keep the portions and service in mind. The appetizers are also extremely generous compared to any restaurant. Everything we had was amazing and we even had two young children in a party of six and they made them feel like they were rock stars in a nice restaurant. We will be back.

Good food - not worth the price. Service is weird with almost no personality?? Left us sitting for almost 20 minutes when we first sat down and the restaurant was half full. Had to ask for water, drinks. Had to ask for wine like 3 times. Waiter had to write down the order as we went. It was all kind of weird!
