Nice Xmas eve dinner with grandma. Tons of food, quick service. Everyone happy. Nice staff. Nice seamless experience.

First time eating there. Our server was very knowledgeable. We liked the iPad menu, it allows a better view of what you are ordering. Good sized portions and the food was excellent.

The service was outstanding for our meals. We had the Sir Barton that was cooked to perfection. I had the chicken which I understand is odd at a steak house but they didn’t disappoint as it retained its flavor and juices. We had mushrooms, Mac and cheese followed with the Yukon gold mashed. The Mac and cheese could have been more flavorful but somehow missed the mark. Overall it was a great meal.

Outstanding all around. The scallop dish was delicious. The paprika cream sauce was inventive and worked well with the large and tender scallops. Compliments to the chef! The salmon entree was equally delicious—though my husband likes his salmon well-done—the chef cooked it to perfection (in my opinion). Maybe inquire regarding preference upon ordering? Attentive service and lovely ambience contributed to a delightful experience.
