Food and service is excellent. The wait staff is attentive and knowledgeable. The quality of the food, particularly the steak options is top notch. Conversations can be somewhat challenging due to ambient noise in the restaurant.

A top tier, best bang for the buck, steakhouse. I had the ribeye, mushrooms, and a crab bisque soup. Wish the soup was twice the size. There was a pretty good crowd, especially for a Tuesday night. When I asked for a larger table, increased to 5 people, the staff took care of it without any issue. Table service was good. Great night out.

The quality of food here is excellent. The service was very attentive throughout the night. The only negative thing I would have to say is that the sometimes the mean serving the meat tableside were unaware of the juices from the meat splattering onto us or the table as they carved the meat for us. Both my husband and I were worried that our clothes and/or jackets would get stained. I did get a couple of splatters on my top by one of them but quickly did my best to get it with some water. The delicious food though is undeniable. Before I remember them stating that the meat was grassfed...but I don't hear them saying that anymore nor do I see it on their website. Has this changed?
