Oh my goodness! The food was absolutely delicious! My husband and I both had steaks. They were cooked to perfection! The price was very comparable to anywhere in this area. Our waitress was awesome. The ambience was amazing, just what we were after. We decided to make it a monthly event. Thank you so much for the awesome experience!!
