    Absolutely fantastic experience! We went to celebrate our anniversary and every single person who worked in the restaurant wished us a happy anniversary. They even sprinkled special glitter on our table. And the food was exceptional! We will definitely be going there for years to come!

    Best steak/meal I've had in a long time. Everything cooked perfectly. My wife finished her steak and licked the plate. She never finishes a steak. Apps were great and sides are awesome. First time there but it's my new go to. I always went to capital grille. No more

    Nothing better than having a seasonal cocktail, made from scratch not sweet syrups, with the BEST BARTENDERS to start. Then having dinner at the bar or at a table depending on your mode!! GREAT FOOD and SERVICE! NEVER DISAPPOINTED
