Our first experience there and it was outstanding. The dry-aged NY strip (18 0z) cooked perfectly, tender and not over-seasoned ($58). The shrimp cocktail was great with large shrimp, fresh and firm. Good cocktail sauce. Only four for $15 however…a bit too pricey. Great service and attention by Betty. Very nice atmosphere…classy. Tables not crowded together. Noise level not too bad. Highly recommend.
