    Glad we found this place! Our server Zach was very good!, Very attentive! Nice selection of cocktails. The ones we had were good but light on strength and short on pour. Just inconsistent. Crab cakes Caesar were excellent. Steaks were great and cooked perfect medium rare. Lobster tail the same! Sides were some of the best we have had at a steak house! Asparagus. Green Beans Sour Cream Mashed and the cream corn and bacon were all in the excellent category. Mousse Cake was a nice way to end the meal! We will be back for sure!!

    The food was excellent! The tuna was delicious, and everyone enjoyed every bite. Our plates were spotless. The half-price bottles of wine are a wonderful opportunity to try our waiter’s recommendations. The exceptional service allowed us to have a relaxing dinner with friends.
