    This is IMO the best steak house in the Orlando area. From the food, to management to the excellent service from the wait staff (special shout out to Johnny) makes this a must for us on a weekly basis. Order the Japanese Milk Bread, the dry ages NY strip blackened/medium, the corn soufflé, broccolini and purveu w/extra cheese. Top it off with the brownie for desert and you are in for a treat. Can’t recommend this restaurant enough.

    Consistently great experience all around. Food, service, ambience/atmosphere and drinks are all superb and above average quality. Factor in the price and this place is a gem! Very fine dining experience for a great price and no sacrifices in quality. One of my favorite places to frequent for a great meal and to unwind after work with happy hour specials in the bar area or regular dining with my family in the dining room.

    They had a Christmas Menu - it was fantastic - something for everyone. Our server Tony was by far one of the best servers we have ever had at a restaurant. Attentive, personable and very accomodating and knowledgeable

    What a great place. Definitely will be going back. The food was amazing I had the New York strip and my husband had the salmon. The restaurant was super cute! Plus they had my favorite dessert crème brûlée. They also had the best old fashion I have ever had. Can’t wait to go back.
