Me and my friend went to this restaurant yesterday I ordered the lemon drop martini it was good my burger was good as well but the fries were cold and hard I asked the waitress for ketchup she left our table and went and talked to another table for at least ten minutes before ever coming back at that point I told her I didn’t need the anymore considering I had already eaten most of my food waiting on her to return then she took the money for our bills and at least 20 mins passed and she never returned with the change I had to ask another server to find her then he brought the change back stating she said her shift was almost over which apparently is a excuse to ignore your table and not bring their change back ? Overall a terrible experience and waste of time and money

Great service for our Sunday night dinner. Hubby enjoyed the thick cut of cajun prime rib but I thought the rotisserie chicken could've had more flavor. It was also visibly not thoroughly cooked at the bone. Portions were large.

I haven't been here in 20 years since moving from the area, and the food and service were still spot on. I had the swordfish and it was amazing. The calamari appetizer and the spinach cheese dip were also great. Service was wonderful. Will be back.

Stopped here a week ago. The atmosphere was nice. The waiter was attentive/good. The food was good, we had the Avocado bomb, Flat Iron steak, and Crab cakes. The steak was cooked exactly as ordered, and bigger than I had thought, and the crab cakes were definitely full of crab, unlike most places that are more cake than crab. The Avocado bomb (appetizer) was the star though, it was fairly unique and pretty great. Would go again.

We absolutely love this place! Definitely one of the best steaks in the city. But always make sure you dine in. If you choose to try takeout, make sure your order is correct before leaving the restaurant. We have never had our order correct when we do takeout. And I mean steaks not cooked right, completely missing sides, etc. But the restaurant is nice and has great ambience, and the food always comes out fresh and correct. We’ve never had an issue dining in.

The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the New York Strip and it came with a side of mac n cheese.
Robert Murphy
