Our waitress, Brittany was outstanding. She paced our meal just the way we wanted. I loved the mushroom soup. My daughter has Celiac's disease, so the extensive Gluten free dedicated menu was a real plus! Out flatbread appetizer was excellent. My husband and I shared the butter fish, and it was tender, flakey, and just the right amount of Asian seasong. Will definitely return!

Had an absolutely wonderful anniversary dinner with my girlfriend, all of the food tasted amazing, especially the items beyond their steaks, such as the spicy sausage and chicken. Will be coming again.

Always love our dinner here! 5th visit since they opened. Savannah was an absolute pleasure of a waitress and even though for the first time we were seated in a room away from everybody that was kinda weird, she took great care of us. Everything was wonderful and the addition of a chocolate dessert ( FINALLY!! Keep it on please!) made it even better. ONLY comment I have is I feel they are pricing themselves out of us and others coming more often.
