The ambiance is good. The restaurant is tight lots of tables. The steak is a cheap cut of meat. The fresh fries are delicious. They give you a second portion once you’re done. However it’s a surprise, not sure why? Our server was Holly she was great. The menu consist of 3 things, salad, steak and fries. The end

This was our second time in. We came in late on Valentine's Day and still got 5 star service. Our server Luis was attentive and made sure we had a special evening and the manager, Marina was a very welcoming host. This has become our favorite spot!
