We were seating in a room off to the right side, not the main dining room which I found to be a bit sterile. Food was delicious once they got my husbands filet mignon cooked right... he asked for rare and was given a piece that was well done. They were more than happy to fix it, and it came out fairly quick so it wasn't really a big deal.

We went to celebrate a double family birthday and had an outstanding experience. The food was top notch, generous portions, service was excellent and Chris even entertained us with his comedy show. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our experience. On top of that, they made a very generous donation to the Make A Wish Foundation. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
