    Grabbed an early dinner after seeing "Michael". Service was prompt and polite, even the poor folks we grabbed on their way passing our table. The bread, especially the olive sourdough, was divine, the steak was expertly cooked and those little brussels sprouts were perfectly seasoned and not over-cooked. We will be back!
