Our main servers were very polite and friendly...food was good, but service was way off...there was a small banquet going on which seemed to commandeer all of the kitchen's attention..it took an hour for our meal to get to the table! Owner was there and he made no eye contact, apology, or anything...

Food was just ok for the price. Smells like cleaning products when u walk in. I like that’s it’s clean, but I’d rather smell the food.

Our waitress was quite good BUT my dining partner ordered the Filet Mignon medium. It came rare. We sent it back asking that they just cook it a little more. 10 minutes later a new filet came out undercooked exactly as the first one. Sent it back again with the waitress assuring us it would only take a minute to cook the existing steak a little more. 10 minutes later another new steak came out undercooked exactly as the first 2. We gave up since my meal had now gone cold waiting for my partner's. Told them to just box it up and we'll have desert and leave. Clearly the chef did not understand complying with the customer's wishes. Desert was comped. Noise level unacceptable due to a table of 20ish millennials shrieking at each other all evening.
