Would recommend the steak which was done to perfection, the wedge salad and the both the creamy spinach (which was so creamy and cheesy) and the Brussels sprouts (which were one of the best sprouts we have ever had)! We brought home much of the food for the portions were large! Reheated for lunch the next day and they were just as amazing! Also brought home the coconut cake for dessert we will return but maybe not order as much food… hahaha The ONLY downfall was the noise level and small space between the high top tables. Could hear ALL the conversations around us as though they were part of our party!

There was a long hair found in the Mac and cheese that ruined the rest of the dinner for me. The Mac and cheese was also watery and not the same as it was a few months ago. We were comped the Mac and cheese but I just couldn’t get that experience to leave me for the rest of the dinner. I feel the quality of the food definitely was not the same as it was when I went a few months ago and was not worth it for me.

So trying to cut steak and pork chop was a challenge. When cutting the pork chop because of the table my husband got food all over his shirt. The food and drinks were delicious.

Both my husband and I were freezing and had to keep our coats on. The music was too loud. The menu is very small and if you want fish, you better like salmon because that’s all they have. The only positive thing I have to say is the waitress was absolutely amazing. We will not be back.
