One of the best steak dinners I have ever had. The grass fed Australian ribeye was of the best quality. And it was cooked perfectly. Lightly charred with a warm pink center. The mushroom medley was exceptional. And the cocktails were unique. Colorful and delicious. At $250 for two people, it was not an everyday meal. But well worth the splurge.

Everything was amazing! The K-Town chicken wings are a must, as well as the bread and butter. The mac n cheese was piping hot and everyone enjoyed their meal! Our server (I think his name was Randy) was AWESOME!! He is also there for Sunday brunch.
