    Only writing this so owners might see it and maybe have the cook staff take the salt down a few notches. Other than that, it’s a great restaurant with good food and staff. My steak and fries were extremely salty and my family says I’m a salt feen so…

    The service was absolutely wonderful. Our server was attentive and answered all of our questions efficiently. She was friendly and welcoming. The food was all delicious. The tiramisu could’ve had more of an espresso flavor to it, but was still great! We both got the filet and it was cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back.

    Well the Menu price you can look at is different than the actual price not right . Download off tail and then you said it was a 1/2 pound. I got it was 4 oz. The state said ribbo 14 oz got it. What's 8.5? Cost two hundred dollars will not go again

    We took out of town guests. We asked our waiter not to rush us and he graciously space our courses out. The food was outstanding. The overall experience was great.

    The food was pretty good. That said for the price + expectation it was lack luster. Server didn’t provide high end service , forgot food, drinks were not great and menu was on prices of paper with very little options. They didn’t even have an 8 oz filet available at a steak house … wouldn’t recommend. Best restaurant in Middletown but not saying a lot

    I got the ribeye and my fiancé got the chicken Parm. Both were incredible. The drinks were really good as well. We shared the tiramisu and it was one of the best desserts we’ve ever had while eating out. Service was pretty great too, they weren’t hovering, but they were there almost immediately anytime we actually needed them. A tad expensive but we both agreed it was well worth it afterwards, and that we’ll definitely be back.
