    My husband and I went here for our 20th anniversary and he had the lamb chops. We like to try this dish at different restaurants to compare which one we like the best. Lets just say we won’t ever get their lamb chops. For $85 a plate we were expecting to look forward to coming back. Not sure if we will but don’t get the lamb chops. Over cooked and overpriced!

    Food is great but the expense is really not justified. I had great meals like this that do not cost the same. It is what it is but ultimately not worth it at the end of the day.
