    Prime rib was luke warm. I asked to have it put on the grill server took it back said that they dipped it in the hot au jus and it would be better All it was was the same temperature. She said she'd be back in to check up on me didn't until we're all done eating and I didn't eat 2/3 of my prime rib.

    Our server, Berlyn was wonderful!! The prime rib was amazing except for the end cut which was a little tough. The outfits worn by the female staff were a little misogynistic.

    Excellent service, the food was absolutely delicious, but it was quite loud. I was looking forward to a nice and quiet dinner but it was loud. At times I had to lean closer just to hear what my husband was saying. But it was a 6pm reservation so maybe I picked the wrong time.

    Was in town for work this weekend. I always make it a point to get together with my father when I’m here. We both love a good steak. Everything was great this visit. We were seated within a few minutes of arriving. Service was great. Our waitress let us know of possible delays with baked potatoes and returned a few minutes later relaying the chef said everything would come out together with no delays. Our filets were perfectly cooked. The service from sitting down to walking out was perfect giving us a great visit together.
