The service was great, and the food for the most part, was good. Two of us ordered the steak medallions, and even though they weren't overcooked for some reason they were dry. Matter of fact first thing I did after my first bite was to check the cook. I thought it was overcooked. My husband's burger and our friends Ahi tuna were perfect. This is unusual because normally all our food is great.

The service was great and the atmosphere was good. Love the bag of homemade chips instead of bread! One suggestion is to add and identify dietary restrictions options to the menu (e.g. gluten free, vegan).
