    Steak was underwhelming and fries felt like they have been left out awhile. Disappointed as we were really looking forward to it. We were also seated right next to the kitchen which disrupted the ambiance and was very noisy with dishes banging and orders being called right by your year. Didn’t feel like a relaxing or enjoyable experience. Our waiter was very kind, yet wish the overall experience could have been better.

    I would consider this a fine dining restaurant if it weren’t for the fact that they have a DJ at the doorway, playing extremely loud bad remixes of old records. Other than that, our service person was attentive; the food was flavorful; the drinks were well mixed and it has a nice look in the interior of the restaurant.

    Upon arrival, we were promptly seated and prepared for dinner. The restaurant's cleanliness and organization were immediately apparent. Although the rear seating area became uncomfortably warm, and bathroom access was limited due to high demand, the outstanding cuisine made up for these drawbacks. The Butcher's platter, generously portioned for four guests, was a highlight, and its delicious flavors ensured a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience.

    Food was good! Portions were stingy and they didn’t have a variety of vegetables sides. They should offer more entrees with sides.Service was ok the waiter didn’t check on us much. But I like u can see the cooks make your food it was cute

    Steak over done. Salads had too much dressing. Oysters were ok not great. Service was spotty. On bright side, cocktails were great
