    I booked this reservation to propose to my fiancé. We did get there 15 minutes early and when you go upstairs, it is very nice. We did have a little bit of a tight table for just the two of us, but I was just focused on having a good time with her. The server was very attentive and did outstanding during the time of our evening. I ordered the 12 ounce New York steak, medium rare and my fiancé ordered the beef medium rare both came out excellent and beautifully done. The fries they had as well too, that came out with homemade ketchup and garlic, aïoli as well too for the dip was superduper delicious and I would love to try it again. Honestly, another thing that was very underrated in the entire menu was the buttermilk biscuits that they did serve. I wanted to order two more boxes, but my fiancé say no lol. Expect to spend for two people with one glass of wine you can walk out between 100 to 250 and that does include the tip. I would 100% book at this restaurant again and I highly recommend it to anyone.

    Great new spot! The flights are fun, and they have a great selection on tap. Most surprising was how good the food was. We ordered most of the apps, and demolished them. Def take the server’s recommendations on flavors. We will be back soon.
