    First time going. Food was really great, got the bread plate for an appetizer, the butter for the bread was really tasty. For the main course my wife and I split the steak board and the steak and pork chop were cooked perfectly, and seasoning was on point. Butter cake at the end was 10/10. Overall super happy with the place. The only thing that kinda threw me was the service was mediocre to not great. Server forgot our appetizer. We had to ask another server to check on it. Drink refills were checked on at the end of our meal not really during. The server just seemed kinda cold which is fine if she is having a tough day, but didn’t really keep up service wise. Small pull back to a great place, We will be back!

    Our server was beyond amazing. She was cheerful, informative, professional, and took initiative to make sure our order arrived with enough time to leave for our show following dinner. Additionally, all of the dishes (and beverages) we ordered were absolutely fantastic. It’s clear this restaurant knows what it’s doing, has good leadership, and the staff is happy. We’ll done, guys 👏

    Beautiful ambiance in back of restaurant. They had several large tables of high school kids at their Sweethearts dance so the noise level was higher than normal and food delivery was very slow. They were trying to do their best so we appreciated that. Our server was great and very kind to keep us updated. The Caesar salad and house bread of delish! The pizza was good but crust was undercooked and they had it on a weird bowl/plate where all the toppings slid to the middle. I think they just rushed to get it out and probably didn’t have any clean pizza plates left. We were seated at a small table against a wall that had plastic chairs. They were extremely uncomfortable and when the wait was abnormally long we asked to move to a booth that had been open the entire time and our server was happy to let us move. We will go back and give it a second try:)
