    Centrally located. The food was fabulous! Our waitress Jennifer was very helpful, explaining the menu since it was our first time in, without being overbearing. Will definitely recommend!

    Great apps. Bring. A group of 4 or more and order them all. Can’t go wrong. Also a big fan of the bone in ribeye. Great flavor.

    There is something so satisfying about a large plate of delicious assorted meats and a glass of scotch. Good times.

    Dined on a Sunday evening and the restaurant was not busy. The service was excellent and the food was top notch. I’d definitely go back again and try other items on the menu. Gnocchi was awesome!

    We had dinner to celebrate my birthday and catch up with an old friend. Jennifer was our server and she was incredible!!! She made our meal so enjoyable. The food was delicious as well. I think we ordered half of the sides menu. 10/10 would recommend!
