I ordered my steak "black and blue" and it was a bit over cooked to my liking. Since sending it back stresses out my husband I decided to keep it but was none the less disappointed in part because I had eaten half of it before the server even checked on us. Had he checked on us sooner I would have likely sent it back. I am always surprised when steak houses can't get steak doneness perfected.

Fantastic first visit, will try very hard to come back soon (live about an hour away). Every bit of food hit the right note, chicken was crispy, hot and perfectly seasoned, drinks were varied and well made. Mac and cheese with brisket is a must ! Service was extremely courteous and attentive.
