The food was amazing, we had appetizers and meals. All was delicious with great portions! The bar had a singer and we could hear it in the dining room but it was great, not too loud.

First time ever I had a bad experience here. Usually five stars. Steak is cold. Then is raw and no one (manager) stopped by to say sorry. Normally there are five stars.

We each had a different meal and it was amazing! Service was impeccable, drinks were great, overall a little more than we plan to spend for two people on week night, but it was delicious

Went to a birthday dinner with wife and kids. The waitress was new and had way too many tables. It was almost impossible to get her attention and she had no help from her coworkers/management. The kids meals were not very good. Only saving grace was the steaks were not awful. It was ridiculously noisy in the restaurant. I will not return and do not recommend anyone with a family eat here.
