    Would have preferred a more quiet intimate atmosphere but didn’t effect the meal in anyway.

    I hate to let the cat out of the bag, but….you would pass this place by from the looks of the outside but when you open the door, it’s “old school” elegant. The bar is gorgeous and the rooms off the central aisle are warm and inviting. Service was spot on and the food backed up the inside looks of the place. Classy steakhouse!

    Visited this restaurant for the first time and had a great experience. The prime rib was juicy, and the baked potato was cooked perfectly.

    We had dinner on a Sunday. We arrived at 5 p.m., and they were already very busy. It took about 10 minutes to be seated. Our waitress arrived promptly and told us the daily specials. The portions were large, so we had leftovers for two more meals. I had the surf and turf, and my husband had a rib-eye steak. We ordered mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and mushrooms as our sides. Everything but the mushrooms arrived in a timely manner. The mushrooms finally arrived after our leftovers were boxed, and we were paying the bill. Everything was cooked to perfection and very delicious.

    Tacky steakhouse. Was like Jersey meets Hooters meets the Sopranos. Meat is all corn raised; terrible for environment. Servers dressed liked hookers. Food swimming in grease. Martini shaken for about 10 secs; not good. Has potential in its retro feel but needs a complete overhaul!

    Our group ordered two delicious perfectly cooked filets and I had the tasty short rib ravioli, abandoning my usual choice of prime rib (which I dearly missed!). I went for the unknown choice because I was also ordering what turned out to be an amazing and plentiful spinach salad. It was all so good we didn’t have dessert this time…

    This was an outstanding experience. Great food and service. We both had the prime rib dinner and it was great. Very nice date night with my wife. I highly recommend. We will be returning.
