    We were a party of 7 on a early Saturday evening. There was no long wait time to be seated, our server, Danny, was very professional and personable. He double checked orders before he sent them to the kitchen and he made sure we had what we needed without coming over too much.

    The manager called before our reservation to confirm if a high top was ok for our group and was sensitive to it being a business lunch. The table was in a corner which helped with noise reduction. Benjamin, our server, was amazing and super personable.

    Don't order the New York Strip steak! I order one cooked medium rare and got more gristle than meat. The person or cook gave me $4 off a $28 steak. The waiter was wonderful, the rest of the food was good, and the booth was okay. They have the table too close to the seats which make it hard to get in and out of, especially if you're plus size, like me.
