Fliet was pretty much raw and ordered it medium. Service was really slow and not as attentive as usual. Had to ask multiple times for bread which is uncharacteristic. We were there at 6 so being really busy wasn’t as excuse.

My wife and I celebrated our 13th anniversary. Food and drinks were delicious. The waiters were very accommodating to our daughters who were eating at an adjacent table. We enjoyed the pork cheek and crab cheesecake for appetizers and the 16 oz. ribeye and the fish Katie. We can't wait to dine here again!
