my boyfriend and I went for an anniversary and I was lovely!! they have free valet when you arrive, we walked in and were immediately and warmly greeted by the host. they wished us a happy anniversary and even though we were almost 30 min early they were able to seat us after only 1 min. we got a booth and the ambiance was perfect; cozy low lighting (I could still read the menu though), lots of beautiful wood, and red accents. the entire staff was kind and welcoming. our server was perfect and just what you’d want/expect from an established steak house (professional, knowledgeable, nice, and anticipatory). we got crab cakes as an app (comes with two- very pricy) and the sauce that came with them was delicious (almost a sweet and sour sauce). my bf ordered a martini and it was perfect. I ordered the Paula Shultz and it was sweet and refreshing and yummy. they gave us complimentary warm bread rolls with butter which would have been amazing but they were very salty. same room!! I got the 8oz filet mignon and it was so tender and amazing! I ordered it with garlic mashed potatoes which were also soooo well done!! my bf got the rib eye and it was juicy, tender, and flavorful. the fries that came with his steak were really good and came with ketchup and a fry sauce that I loved. they surprised us with a complimentary crème brûlée for our anniversary and it was incredible (made with real vanilla bean). all in all it was exactly what we wanted; rustic, classic, and delectable!! definitely very expensive but worth it for a special occasion. I can’t wait to return!!

Everything was fabulous. We had the Surf and Turf Valentines dinner. Great value for the price. The asparagus is always cooked perfectly and one of my favorite things to get! A Washington Syrah was suggested by our server and was on point for our meal. Service was outstanding and we will be back.

It was an early Valentine’s treat for us and we opted for the Surf & Turf. The ambiance is great, booth next to the bar was wonderful, and our choices for appetizer plus starters could not have been perfectly timed. So when our server brought in the beautiful platter of garlic prawns, St Louis ribs, NY steak, mashed potatoes and grilled veges, we felt full simply by looking at the delicious fare. And it was delicious! We saved some room for the Berry Cheesecake Bombe and sure glad we did. It lived up to its name. Great food. Great service. 5-star in our books.

We had a really memorable dinner with our 12 year old daughter who loved the pizza. The menu variety offered something for everyone. The preparation of the gnocchi (2 large rather than the smaller finger-sized) was a neat and delicious twist and the skirt steak was cooked perfectly. Our server had spot-on wine recommendations that paired nicely with our meals. Excited for a return visit.

Food was great , service was exceptional! We will be back for sure !
