    Stopped in here on a Sunday night on our way home from a hockey tournament and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. Great food and great service all around. Really enjoyed the steak frites and the filet mignon. Both cooked perfectly and the Parmesan fries were delicious. The desserts were really good too. Definitely recommend.

    Our drinks, apps, dinners, and dessert were all delicious! Only reason I gave a 4 was because my streak wasn’t cooked to the temp I requested. But our server and the restaurant took care of it without hesitation.
