    Felt a little rushed; lighting was nice but too dark when it was time to pay the bill.

    My steak was perfectly done and delicious and they have the crispier French fries. My daughter and husband had the seared tuna special. They both felt it was missing some flavor. It needed a wasabi mayonnaise or more of a soy dipping sauce.

    They should ask customer if a booth seat is ok don’t assume. A person using a cane should not be expected to crawl into a booth seat! Very attentive servers. Food very good,but scallops lacked flavor.1 medium/rare was great, other med/rare was overdone. Delicious desserts!
