    Had an amazing dinner here. My hubs started with the mushroom soup, recommended by our server,Todd. I hate mushrooms, but this soup was AMAZING! I ordered the short ribs and hubs the mahi mahi: both were fabulous! Topped it off by another recommendation, the buttery pound cake! You will be in heaven with this one!

    Prime rib was poor quality and chewy. Salad had way too much dressing… service was great but food was terrible.
