My wife had the lamb skewer with rice and a few vegitables. The lamb was very tasty. I had the same skewer with beef. The beef was much too well-done and not very good. We shared a good Caesar salad and each had a wine at $13 a pour. I felt the whole meal turned out to be a bit too expensive, esp. given the poor quality of beef skewer.

We ordered bruschetta as an appetizer, very tasty! We both ordered the Rib-eye, I ordered garlic mashed potatoes with it and he ordered the horseradish mashed potatoes. Our meals got switched. So I got his potatoes. I didn’t even notice, just thought they were bland. Apparently there was horseradish placed on it in the middle. I asked my boyfriend how his potato’s were and he said they were good. I asked him to try mine….he got a mouthful of horseradish, probably no potatoes, haha. That’s when we figured out the switch up on the potatoes. Not a big deal, we just laughed it off. I didn’t get to try the garlic mashed, they must have been good cause there were none left on my boyfriend’s plate lol. Anyway, the sauce that comes with it was so amazing! It was like a garlic cream sauce. I am still craving more! It was good on the steak, veggies and potatoes. The steak was very good quality and cooked to Medium Rare perfection. Definitely worth the $55 each. Our waiter, Clayton, was so professional and excellent. Overall a very pleasant experience! I’m sure we will be back in the future.

We come here 6-8 times a year. I’m a sucker for the lamb chops if they are cooked medium rare. My wife usually orders the filet mignon or ribeye. Our Waitress Aubrey who was one we haven’t seen yet did a fantastic job. It’s nice that our past waitresses and hostess/ Manager stop over to say hi and to see how our dining experience is going.
