Absolutely fantastic experience! The food was amazing. My daughter was addicted to the fries. That sauce was to die for. And the fudge layer cake came out all warm and gooey and sooo yummy! Not to mention the exceptional customer service! We can’t wait to go back.

First time diners at Medium Rare. The steak, ordered medium rare, was fine. Gravy on the steak gave it flavor. Bread and fries were outstanding. Salad was fresh though too much dressing. A hot fudge sunday for dessert was piled high with whipped cream. Bar cocktails were properly made and a glass of cabernet sauvignon hit the mark. As others have said, the meal is a good value. The negatives are that the food comes out too quickly (before we finished our cocktails) and the restaurant is noisy.
