    Steak was overcooked, other than that everything was very delicious 🤤 will definitely go again.

    Steak dinner was cooked just right. Service was friendly and attentive but not fussy. Dark wood, red leather, and soft lighting created an atmosphere of luxury and comfort. We will be back!

    My experience on Feb 8, 2025 was outstanding. Ordered the Roasted Vegetable Pasta and my husband ordered the Crab Linguine. Both dishes were wonderful! Full of flavor and just the right portions. The servers were attentive, and the atmosphere was nice. This is a repeat restaurant for sure! Easy to get to and they take reservations!
