From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave the service is excellent. The vibe is everything you look forward to when having a date night. Our waiter Lee went above and beyond to make sure we had a good night! We loved the menu and especially the bone in NY strip that was so juicy and perfectly cooked. Probably the best steak I’ve ever had! Felt like I was dining in Chicago or out of town. Definitely my new favorite restaurant and will be back again to try more options on the menu.

10/10 would recommend and come again. I don’t know where to begin. Upon arrival we were greeted by the most welcoming staff, who quickly seated us at our table. Our hostess for the night Coco took hospitality to a new level. The drink appetizer’s mains and sides were absolutely fantastic. Will definitely be returning and can’t wait to try new item.
