    We sat in main dining room. The noise level was better than bar area. The atmosphere in general is classic steak house vibe. The food was excellent. Our table had steak and seafood. I highly recommend.

    We ate in the Parlor Room. Server was extremely helpful as it was our first visit. She made good recommendations and was attentive to our food allergies. Our appetizer of deviled eggs and two salads were delicious. The steak special was prepared at the requested temperatures. The French dip and shrimp were very good too. We had key lime pie and home made gelato for dessert. The chef even came out to greet us at the end of our dinner. We will surely be back! Highly recommend.
