I can’t speak to if the food is good or not personally but I’ve heard from someone else who visited that the tacos was really good. I came here for a drink on my way home and got a very nice old fashion made at the bar by the bartender (I think his name was Danny). It’s a nice spot inside, pretty spacious and I came on a Saturday and it wasn’t too loud or chaotic like many other bar-restaurants in town on weekends. I’m not really a loud music person and someone there told me they usually have live music performance on Fridays so I probably come on those days but I’d definitely come again sometime for a drink. One old fashion came out to about ~$15 for reference.

I chose to have my birthday dinner here and it definitely exceeded expectations. The service was excellent and the food is delicious. Our steaks were cooked to perfection and had the best flavor. I will definitely be coming back here for date nights! 100/10 recommend.

The absolute best Ribeye (16oz med rare, Bella mushrooms and butter garlic) I have had in 35 years , including my own. I was amazed how it would just melt in your mouth. I will be back and then back again. Thank you for the best meal I have had in a very long time.

We walked in for the first time yesterday. They have a red carpeted entry to greet you. The place isn't as big as I thought it'd be, and they have mostly high tables and chairs, which seems less formal. We started with a Paloma, pineapple ale beer, and the fried calamari, which was pretty good. For dinner, I chose the poblano pasta with shrimp. My husband chose the ribeye with the lobster Mac and cheese. The bill was $130 before taxes. The food was pretty good, but I think I was pretty pricey.

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere! Our steaks were perfectly cooked, our drinks were always full, and we didn’t feel rushed to leave. Our waitress continued to check on us and refilled our glasses even after we paid the bill. Definitely recommend! Five stars across the board!

Good steaks, good drinks, everything made fresh. The place was empty when we went. But don't let that fool you. Give them a try you won't be disappointed.

Went here about a week ago for my birthday I think it was a Thursday and they had a steak dinner special. The restaurant is decent sized has a nice patio and seems like it has a good atmosphere to it. It was pretty slow when we got there but it livened up by the time we left service was great really fast and attentive we had a nice server. My daughter ran all around the restaurant and everyone was really kind to her. The food was the star of the show. We ordered the ribeye tacos and they might’ve been some of the best tacos I’ve had the meat was so juicy and flavorful the guacamole and pickled onions add a lot of flavor and the grilled cheese it was just all amazing ! We also had some of the steak which was the same just cooked and seasoned to perfection ! All the drinks are really good to hear to well balanced and flavorful. I would definitely recommend trying going to have to add this place to be a regular visit

This was my first time going by here, and I will definitely be coming back. The food was really good, nice and warm, not a long wait. The atmosphere and music really set the scene for the night. Only issue is the parking area but that's not on them. Definitely would recommend for family or friend night out.
