Honestly, Their specials were misleading and to say the least, pure garbage. The special/surprise steak was a surprise….. tasted and looked like left over cuts. Beside that, all the stuff on menu was good.

The ambiance was good and the service was good, the rib eye I got was tough and chewy, not a great cut of meat and was very tough. The appetizer biscuit was good but the meat had a lit of chewy bits in it, flavor was good. Caramel dessert was delicious. Cocktails were good. Overall it was good, would recommend.
