Food wasn’t very good. Shrimp was over cooked and so was the steak. Service was decent but the server had zero personality and didn’t seem to want to engage any more than absolutely necessary. Drinks were ok. I probably won’t go back given the high prices and poor food.

Friendly as we walked through the door. Service was decent and friendly. The dinning area is somewhat small and adds to sound within the room.
