    First time trying out this fairly new steak house in our own town. Very nice decor and enough room between tables to give it an air of privacy. Our waiter, Carol, was very friendly and informative. The menu is a bit pricey but worth every penny. This was a date night for a married couple, and we will be back.

    Had an amazing experience. Food was top tier and service was exceptional. From the moment we sat down to the moment we got up wait staff was attentive and friendly and each dish from appetizers to dessert were made with care and attention to detail to where they were both visually appealing and tasted great. 10/10 would recommend
