.We were delighted to have Kevin as our waiter again. Food and service were fabulous, as always. Prime rib, filet and sirloin steaks were all impeccably prepared. Wine list had excellent selections- and ice cream cake dessert was spectacular. This is our go-to special occasion restaurant and we are never disappointed!

Food was excellent - we had the beet and quinoa salad, the crab cake, the fish tacos and the halibut, and everything was very good. We also had a member of our party who was gluten free, and there were plenty of options for her!

The lunch hour was busy but the staff handled the crowd with ease. I thought the Reuben sandwich was delicious and the French fries were just enough to satisfy but not overwhelm. I would return to dine for lunch here.
