    This was a wonderful dining experience. I had the farm to table 8oz filet and it was amazing!! I am normally a ribeye girl but that cut was unavailable so I went with the filet and I was not disappointed. The ambience was perfect. I would highly recommend dining here. The house dressing and Moroccan carrots added to an already outstanding meal. Sarah did a wonderful job of making sure that I had everything I needed throughout the evening.

    I have Alpha Gal, with few issues. Mainly oils used for cooking, which our waiter found out about quickly. There is a wide variety of options to choose from. Before AG I had the ribs and they were scrumptious! The food was delicious and everyone in our party was complimentary of the experience. Next time we will ask to be seated upstairs so we can look out the large windows.
