    Food was good, though steak was more thinly sliced than expected. Service was slightly slow but overall fine. It was loud, but we were able to carry on a conversation

    The menu pre fixed so there's no variety but it makes for a simple ordering process and a relatively quick meal. Cocktails and wine were great! Dessert was good too! So if you're interested in a simple dinner with no choices or extra decisions to make this is the place for you.

    Food was great, normally not thrilled with prix fixe menus but this was an exception. Bargain for the amount and quality of food. Got carrot cake for dessert, best I've ever had. Service was a little slow, but it was very busy. Definitely will be a regular.

    Absolutely fantastic experience! The food was amazing. My daughter was addicted to the fries. That sauce was to die for. And the fudge layer cake came out all warm and gooey and sooo yummy! Not to mention the exceptional customer service! We can’t wait to go back.
