We had the filet, which was cooked perfectly to our preferred doneness. Accompanying carrots and asparagus were a great complement. Enjoyed the side of fries (but would have preferred more ketchup). Gin and tonics were delicious. Our server was attentive and responsive. We'll be back.

First time visit, and sad the Afghan food is only available during the week. Nonetheless, the brunch food was quite tasty, and my classic Bloody Mary was nice and spicy, boozy with just the right amount of accoutrements. Our party of 3 felt stuffed when we were done with our meals. We ordered the Biscuits and Gravy, the Chicken Milanese sandwich and the Chicken and Waffle. The only need throughout our brunch was I needed more gravy bc the biscuits were dense and really absorbed the gravy. Yes, we do plan to go back to try the Afghan menu for dinner!
