    Fantastic! The French onion soup and tuna tare tare were both outstanding appetizers. Delicious. The King Bull filet mignons were perfectly cooked. The meat just melted in your mouth like butter. Our server was the best. Beyond professional and polished and very engaging. Thank you for a great nite!
