    Delicious food. Service could be improved. It felt a little bit like they were doing us a favor for letting us dine at their restaurant.

    The food was as fabulous as ever, but when we ordered drinks the waiter told us what happy hour drinks were and when two of us ordered a margarita and glass of house wine, as he told us were happy hour drinks, we were surprised to see the check did not reflect the happy hour price he quoted. When asked he shrugged and said we didn’t order the happy hour special. Good thing we go for the food!

    Wife and I went to celebrate our Anniversary and enjoyed it. The service and food were great. The personnel looked like they enjoyed working there and the servers were kind and we didn't feel rushed. We don't normally order mixed drinks or dessert but did so and even with an appetizer and steak entree's, spent about $115 not including tip. I would definitely go again, but could probably do without appetizer and/or dessert since the entree's were pretty good portions.

    I took my parents here for a steak dinner while I was visiting from Portland Oregon. The total cost of the bill was marvelous it is definitely a good value for the food that you get. My steak was cooked perfect and the drinks were on spot definitely we'll recommend this to anyone in the area. And I know every time I visit my parents we will always come here
