    We have been there multiple times & enjoyed the experience...went there 2 weeks ago & ordered our usual...NY Strip Steak & Lamb chops...we have them divided & plated in the kitchen...we took some friends there last night ...ordered our usual & were told they no longer serve lamb chops...really...a steak house...we had to scrabble & wound up ordering the Red Grouper...mistake...dried out & tasteless...although the steak was cooked as ordered...medium rare...it was dry...no natural juices...service was very good as usual...caesar salad was fine...I would give them another chance on the steak & count it as a one off...however with no lamb chops no reason to go back...

    The only thing we did not like was the hostess told us there was a private party at 6 and we had to be out by then. Then why sit us in a party room? Wild.

    Well decorated, nice ambiance. Service was good but a bit slow. Water’s were empty twice and we had to waive someone down for refill. Food was delicious. Crème brûlée was one of the best I’ve ever had, perfectly cooked.

    My boyfriend and I truly enjoy Ralph serving us. Super knowledgeable about the specials and steaks. He remembered us from like 2023. It was like bumping into an old friend and catching up.there was no wait and he always made sure we were good while also giving us space.
