My husband went out to celebrate our 9 year anniversary and had the best meal! The service was superb and they kindly even comped our dessert as an anniversary gift. So very thoughtful! Little things go a long way. We will definitely be back.

This steak house came as a recommendation from a work friend, and it didn't disappoint. I got the sirloin, and it was fantastic. We'll seasoned and cooked perfectly. It was tender and juice, and I will be back for more. The potatoes were also delightful. The atmosphere was very fun and I enjoyed the view. It's a little on the expensive side, so get a second job to support your cravings for the place; or just live in another state to limit visits. 😉 One of the best places I've been in a while!

Ordered a glass of Penfold's Max Shiraz/Cab. It was good with a generous pour. I had the Caesar Salad with Chicken. Nice size portion. It was very good. I was with a party of six and everyone was satisfied with what they ordered. Nice views from the outdoor deck. Would go back again.

The food was good but the dessert tasted funny like a freezer. The waitress did a good job.

We had a wonderful time at dinner! We had the good luck to be seated outside (although the seats inside looked good too) and greatly enjoyed the sounds and sights of the canal. Live music was next door and it made for a pleasant experience! The food and cocktails were excellent. Prices were as expected at an upscale steakhouse but the food delivered! For a group of 4, two apps, drinks and a decent tip we spent about $75 per person. Good portions and perfectly cooked beef. 4/5 stars- So, the servers/bartenders and host were very kind and helpful throughout the evening and we enjoyed them greatly... however more servers may be needed. The timing of the food was good for the most part but we did at one point get up to get our own water as we had not seen our server for a while. Not her fault!!! But at the price point a few more servers would not be amiss.

I came in with no reservation and was able to sit at the bar. Ryan the bartender was very nice. I got the new york strip steak and they accommodated me with the Yukon gold smashed potatoes instead of the potatoes au gratin. The steak was cooked perfect medium with a nice char on the outside. Definitely one of the best steaks I've had. I will be back and will recommend here to anyone who wants a great steak.

April 29th, 2022, we enjoyed our Anniversary Meal. I'm always skeptical on whether the food, service, or atmosphere will be good. Your restaurant nearly exceeded every mark. Very friendly and personable staff, We were there early almost after opening so we had pick of our reserved table. Our waitress was Julie whom did an excellent job and was quite personable . The food was so delicious, nothing over powering or over seasoned, everything was spot on.. My husbands only complaint was that the steak knife was in need of replacing and didn't cut through his medium rare porterhouse very well that was cooked perfectly. I personally had no complaints! Perhaps the part that baffled us the most of our first time visit was the fact we were charged nearly $9 for a small glass of Pepsi and my husband had no refills, I only has water as I don't drink wine or beer and those were the menu options, didn't get an actual beverage menu. But almost $9 for a small glass of Pepsi with ice in it and no refills... hmm Had it not been for those few things I would of given a solid 5 Gold Stars. Only other thing was for a couple this was quite a hefty price to the pocket, we also calculated a 20% tip but exceeded that by $10 with our own bad math, that's on us though. I would recommend here to anyone and I would come back for maybe just the salad .

Great place in the middle of town on the canal. Great Food, great service! Wife had the veal shrimp Marsala. Said it was the best Marsala shes ever had. I had the Lobster Broccoli French. So hood and veru original! Pucker Lemon cake topped it off. They've been there for 7 years, this was our first time but far from our last. Evette our server was the best!
