Wonderful experience. Great service,, amazing food, cool ambiance. We had a family of 5, who all had steak and drinks, so it was costly for us; but with it. The filet and strips were done to perfection and were delicious. The beef tallow candle on the bread - first time for us seeing this and eating it- so good!
