We had an amazing time. The service was absolutely fantastic. Thank you Shannon! There were 4 of us. We ordered meatballs and pork belly apps. Cesar salads (we got 2 and they split them for us in the kitchen) - good sizes. All delicious. For entrée we had, short ribs, sirloin steak, Kansas City steak and twin petit filet mignon. All perfectly cooked and very tasty. We complimented the meals with asparagus, spinach and hash browns. For dessert we got ice cream, chocolate explosion and key lime. All very good as well. This is the type of experience we look for when we get together every month for dinner! We shall return!
