    I have dined at many steakhouses, both mid-tier and high end, and this was the first time I have eaten a steak without and additional sauces or toppings because the steak I got was absolutely seasoned very well. We decided to go here for a birthday dinner in the family and it was a good choice. The only downside or thing we thought could have been better was the appetizer options or at least having the appetizers that are only available at the bar also available in the dining room.

    Great band and fun atmosphere with lots of dancing!! Our main courses were really good. The calamari was pretty awful though, tasted like deep fried salt with no fish inside. It was also absolutely freezing in the restaurant. Had to wear our coats through dinner. Service was very good and friendly. Would definitely go back for the right entertainment and selective ordering on a warmer night haha.
