    We went on Prime Rib night (Thursday). Prime rib was excellent and the service was excellent too. One of our favorite local places.

    Sea bass was really good. Not a fan of lemon butter for the rolls. Everything else great!

    A higher end restaurant but worth it when you want something special. Great taste, good amount of food (lots of leftovers). Our server Rhea was so much fun!
