The service was top notch from the valet to the manager. Very nice space and atmosphere. Food was terrific. I do not recall ever having better cornbread. The pork belly was cooked perfectly. So was the delicious steak. I also highly recommend the 48 hour short ribs.

The food had great flavor. You would think being a steakhouse they would be able to cook steaks to the correct temperature. The prime rib was tough and was extremely under done. Ordered medium and got it rare. Other than that everything else was amazing. Our server was awesome. It was nice and quiet and had a very cozy feeling to it.
