    Old style tavern steakhouse with great choices regarding steak cuts and portion size. Both of my guests loved their filets and the scalloped potatoes were great. Waitstaff were professional and pleasant. Great dining experience

    Never, have I ever, been asked to leave my table because we took too long. Multiple courses were ordered, an expensive bottle of wine, yet within minutes of dessert being completed, the owner asked us to vacate the table. The meal was great, the server was great. Our first round of cocktails was delayed by a glass that had a significant crack. This was dealt with effectively. But at the end of the day, the owner ruined a great evening. Shame on you. So disappointed.

    Everything was impeccable, 5 star, from drinks, apps, entrees to desserts. Have never seen it so crowded - a full house at 6pm, but not overly noisy so you could still carry on a conversation and hear across the table. A great evening!
