    Our server, Danielle, was nothing short of fabulous. Very attentive, knew the entire menu and specials thoroughly. I am gluten free and she knew exactly how everything was prepared so she was very helpful in going over the menu with me. Although I did not get it, they have gluten free pasta! Almost the whole menu is gluten free or can be prepared gluten free. The food was excellent, not one bad bite. Bone in ribeye was perfectly marbled and cooked at exactly medium as we requested. Oysters as fresh as could be. The Tartare Trio and Slab Bacon are to die for! If you are looking for a special celebration or even a swanky night out, I highly recommend. Looking forward to returning!

    We were greeted by the host when we arrived in a very friendly manner he acknowledged that it was our anniversary and that we wanted a private table away from everyone else which was given to us. Our waiter was very good and attentive. I thought the prices were a bit high. The onion soup was underwhelming tasted kind of bland. The mixed vegetables were closer to raw than they were till al dente other than that the meal was excellent nice big helping of potatoes in large portions of the meat that would be enough for my dinner tonight and my lunch tomorrow and probably even a little left over after that the salad was a standard salad with blue cheese, and it was an additional charge for the salad the onion straws were excellent. Service moved along it just the right pace. We were too full to order dessert. The only thing that I did not like is that if you wanted to use a charge card or debit card, there was a 3% charge to do so I think it’s a great place for special occasions. It was a bit noisy in the dining room, even though it wasn’t that crowded I could hear all the people Speaking in their conversations, even though we were in a back corner by ourselves. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience and I would recommend it for anyone celebrating something special. Staff was friendly and attentive. Parking was easy and abundant.
