    Was a little sad they had run out of the Tomahawk steak but the server made a great alternative recommendation. The food was amazing and our server was so sweet! The tables are a little small even for two people and too close to other tables, I felt like I was on a double date with how close the couple sitting at the table beside us was. Not sure if it was the owner or just a manger but there was an older gentleman that came up to our table 4 different times to ask if everything was ok, was a little excessive considering we had our server coming up asking us the same thing as well.

    Our table/placement wasn’t great even though many other better tables were free the entire time we were there; but otherwise the experience was very good. Food was wonderful! Their salad dressing is fantastic!
