Food was excellent especially the steak was done perfectly. The ambiance was nice and cozy though the whole place was a bit too dark, and we had a group behind us at the bar that was extremely loud. Overall good experience and value for the money. Would come back.

Sunday to Sunday was just great. I arrived early for a 12:30 reservation on a very rainy day, and though the restaurant was packed at the time, my table was waiting for me and it was great to be able to wait inside until my Great Niece arrived. Cat, our server was awesome as were all the other servers and the hostess was very sweet and helpful too. Delicious food, great drinks and reasonable prices. We were very happy.
