    We arrived 10 minutes before our reservation. They seated us immediately. Perhaps because we were early our server didn’t stop to take our drink orders until I flagged down another server 20 minutes later. Once the orders were placed everything went very well other than my ribeye was medium rare at one end and fully rare at the other. It was supposed to be medium well. I ate it anyway because the flavor was excellent and it was hot. The manager comped our dessert. It is a very nice place. The food was delicious. I think they had an off night.

    Pretty good dinner. Everything is ala cart so keep that in mind. We sat in an area with 4 TV’s one set on music videos that were a little too loud. Our waitress, Mariah was fantastic.

    The dining room area decor with lighting and piano music ( Sat night- not sure what nights they have it) makes for a relaxing evening . The food is always good and you are greeted with friendly hosts when you arrive. Bennys area for dining is a brighter more casual atmosphere that we have also enjoyed

    The filet is one of the best around. Even butterflied so it’s cooked well which is my preference, it was still tender. The wine sauce was excellent.
