    Dined here last night with wife and two adult children. Have to say I was pleasantly surprised as quality all the way around has improved since my last visit a couple years back. The food was very good. I ordered the prime rib for two. It was cooked perfectly plated beautifully as were all the other entrées. My waiter was excellent, clear, communication skills, great eye contact double check to make sure that everything was OK and just the right amount of interaction. The support supporting staff was also excellent with water, refills, bread, clearing tables, etc. just the right amount of interaction courtesy and professionalism. Thank you to the whole team that provided a great dining experience for my family. Will definitely come back again soon.
