I had gotten a Prime Tomahawk steak with there signature potatoes side dish with a Cesar salad. Everything about each dish was magnificent, some even say magical. Tomahawk was extremely tender and basically melted in my mouth, great job on the chiefs behalf of enhancing me and my date’s experience. Great job too the wonderful staff to provide a congratulations card and a delicious lovely complimentary dessert at the end. 10/10 definitely going to be coming again.
