    We had a wonderful experience celebrating a birthday. We booked ahead of time and when we arrived at the restaurant, they had decorated the table. Food and cocktails were very good. I had the bone-in prime rib and my partner had the 12oz fillet mignon. They were perfectly cooked and seasoned. We also had a dirty martini and Brooklyn for cocktails. We shared a Grand Marnier Soufflé that was baked perfectly. We would definitely go again

    Amazing bloody mary and mimosa bar, almost a meal in themselves! We were celebrating a birthday, which got us a free photo booth token and dessert to share. I didn't realize how big this place is! We were seated in the quieter dining side, but the live music playing in the other area wasn't too loud. Looks like a nice happy hour, too, so we'll have to return soon for that!
