    The ribeye steak was absolutely delicious! My wife and I shared a French onion soup, a beet salad, mashed potatoes, a ribeye steak, and a slice of cheesecake. It was an incredible meal.

    The food is amazing, a great chance to dine out in an old school steakhouse. I can vouch for all the food I ordered — the ribeye, jumbo crab cocktail, wedge salad, and asparagus plus deliciously creamy mashed potatoes!

    Almost always a good time here. Hostesses can be less than great at times, but the servers and food are usually great.
