    Went on a weekday evening. Atmosphere and food were mediocre and the service was underwhelming. Wouldn’t likely go again.

    Excellent food and service. Really great value for top notch food. Well done ribeye steak came out well done but still juicy and delicious. Restaurant was full but food still came out quickly. Attentive and helpful server.
