    We were here for Christmas Eve dinner and the staff went all out to take wonderful care of us. Really a terrific meal and for a group this size it could not have been better- multiple servers brought our food to the table so that everyone was served at one time; the staff made wonderful suggestions and knew everything about each dish, as well as being friendly and very welcoming. Everything we had was delicious, and several of our party agreed that the staff were the best they had ever encountered. Great job!!!

    My experience was unbelievable! From the moment I walked into the restaurant to the moment I left everything was so perfect. Gabby was our waitress and she was nothing short of amazing. She was attentive very, very nice so professional and did not miss a beat. I actually made sure that she is now in my profile at the restaurant. My ribeye was probably one of the best if not the best ribeye I’ve ever had. I could even cut it with a butter knife. The Caesar salad was amazing and the twice baked potato oh my gosh.!! I definitely left their extremely happy satisfied and very full. I live in Tampa and will definitely be coming back. If I could give the restaurant more than five stars, I would not one thing was not amazing.
