We have a family tradition of taking my mother in law out for a lovely Ruths Chris dinner every Christmas season. She is 91 now so it it very special. She looks forward to her one yearly Cosmopolitan cocktail and steak and lobster dinner. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious.

I love this place. The food is creative but not silly, original but still approachable, and every single dish is just tasty as heck. The menu has something for everyone. Staff is almost tied with food for the best part. They are so warm, attentive, and relaxed. You get great service that isn’t stifling, and they like the place - it’s so clear. It just makes the experience so lovely from start to finish. Anytime I need to have dinner in SAC, this is the place I suggest. Everyone I’ve ever brought here leaves delighted and ready to make it their own go to. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🤷🏼‍♀️

We were greeted right away & seated. Ambience was great. Service was timely. Our server was welcoming, knowledgeable of the menu and very accommodating. The food was delicious especially the vegetables. Lunch was so filling that we did not have any of the delicious sounding desserts. We will be back to try more things on the menu.
