    We went to celebrate my husbands birthday and they put our group in a private room. You might be concerned that “out of sight out of mind” might apply but it absolutely did not!! Our service was outstanding! The food was also excellent. We had a variety of steak, seafood and pasta dishes and all of it was outstanding! We will definitely go back, even if it’s just me and my husband for date night.

    I had the Chilean Sea bass and it was cooked to perfection and very flavorful. The wait staff was very attentive and checked in often to see if we needed anything.

    We went to this steakhouse expecting a good dining experience, but unfortunately, it was very disappointing. My husband ordered the chef's specialty recommendation, Parmesan chicken, which sounded delicious. I even tried a bite, only to discover that the chicken was raw inside. Serving undercooked chicken is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about food safety. We were very disappointed, especially since it was a chef-recommended dish. We hope the restaurant takes this seriously and improves its food preparation and quality control. Sadly, this experience left us with a negative impression of the restauran.

    We started with meatballs and burrata, both were delicious appetizers very flavorful. Entrees we did seafood risotto and prime rib two ways. Both were very good. The two ways for prime rib I could go without for the shredded. Service from James was excellent!

    Food was great but service is slow! Be prepared for 1.5+ hour dinner. Not a terrible thing when you have time.

    When you walk in a restaurant 45 minutes after it opens you would think everything would be available on the menu. But I was told that the chef didn’t even make anything for the dish I was looking forward to having. One the chef needs to be replaced or two he or she is just incompetent. Service was good.

    The restaurant was very nice as were the staff. Appetizer (Calamari) and salad were very good. I was very surprised when main course was served. The New York strip steak was overly seasoned ( salty) and very very tough like a chuck steak. It was a busy night 9/26/2026 so I let it be as I had limited time that evening. My brother was with me and said he has had great steaks there but agreed mine was the worst after trying. I probably won’t go back
