Absurd how this dump has 4.3 stars, host curly hair nobody needs a new job, waited 15min and I asked the host if there were any servers available since there were none walking around, he said yes you can wait you just sat down. Until this place fires him and gets some better customer service training, we won’t be coming back and damn sure gonna warn others.

Great food, great service, and a beautiful atmosphere. Inside is nice and dark for a more romantic feel, while the outdoors provide a more casual dining experience. I do recommend reservations, but they are not required. Steaks were cooked to perfection, and all sides are family style. Our favorite has always been the Mac and cheese. Definitely not kids friendly unless you have kids like mine that eat well and eat everything.

Convenient location. Excellent staff and great food with reasonable prices for Happy Hour. I had the onion rings, fish & chips and lava cake. The onion rings and fries were fantastic. Fish was not good and lava cake was just ok. First time I've never finished a lava cake in my life. It was disappointing.

I went to have a few drinks and order to-go. I did have the crab cake while there which is great. I ordered Chateaubriand and mac cheese. My only issue is the bartender was not that attentive. But all in all it was a good first time. I will be back.

The atmosphere was very quiet for a Saturday night but the booths were cozy and it allowed for good conversation at the table. The calamari was okay ... crispy but needed a little more seasoning. However, the filet mignon medium rare was fantastic and the steak fries were so GOOD. Had the Mango lemonade and it was great. Could totally taste the mango. Cheesecake was pretty good, too. Definitely will come back soon.

A close friend of mine treated me to dinner here for my birthday. The food was incredible! Excellent steaks and the lobster was deliciously out of this world! Our waitress was very energetic and amazingly helpful, making sure our experience would never be forgotten. If you love steak, prime rib, lobster, and homemade desserts, you really have to visit this restaurant and treat yourself to an exceptional eating extravaganza! You will not be disappointed.

First time here... Slow evening but the food, service and cleanliness was amazing. We are also now aware of their live music on certain nights and will definitely be going back! Update... Back for our third visit and they were out of the prime ribbon special, out of the 12 oz. filet mignon and out of the large 22 oz. sharable filet. Very disappointing.

I went there for the prime rib special on Tuesdays. For just $25 I got a large "wedge" salad, bread and butter, prime rib, and a slice of chocolate cake (their dessert of the day). I also bought a side dish of cream corn. Everything was DELICIOUS! Maria was our server. Excellent service, and they had cool Christmas tunes from Elvis, Sinatra, and others playing. I parked on the street, and their parking lot is INBETWEEN the motel and tire store. I got there at 4:00 when they opened, and at 5:10 the lot was full. I'd get there early. This is the best restaurant I've discovered since I moved back to the South Bay May of 23'. I'll definitely be back!
