    What a wonderful dinner. Everything about the experience from the valet parking, to the hostess, to our waitress, and of course the food was first rate! Steaks (ribeye, filet, and strip) were delicious. Dessert a must if you have room. Wine list is deep. If you need a steak in a warm and inviting environment (and your credit card has a generous limit) this is your spot.

    We came for a friend lunch for Christmas time. The place was beautiful. We had a table away from the main room and we could laugh and talk and not disturb anyone. The drinks were delicious and the lunch special menu had a wide variety of choices. I was thrilled to find a place that still adds anchovies to a Ceasar salad. Everyone enjoyed their food/ drinks/ desserts and the service was terrific. We weren't rushed and had a great time.
