    We had a great evening out and chose The Weber Grill our dinner place. It's a fun place to fine and we we're really happy with the food and cocktails. I had the Beer Can chicke and my wife had the ribs "Thumbs Up" for both and the portions and flavors were on point. It's a lively place, and great bang for the buck. Lots of families there too.

    IF ONLY they would turn the volume down on the music…it is meant to be “background music” while dining, not music for a dance venue. Otherwise, SIX STARS on a spectacular Valentine’s Day dining experience!!!

    Beautiful restaurant. Lively atmosphere with attentive service. Bread service is nice with the addition of flaky salt and olives. Cacio e Pepe is tasty but could have even more pepper! The ribeye was cooked well and nicely seasoned! Enjoyed the Parmesan potatoes and salad that accompanied the steak. Service was excellent. It was valentines night and we were in a hurry to get to the theater. The server spaced out our meal perfectly to not feel rushed but also got us out in time for our show!!!
