    Really nice restaurant, love the decor and overall atmosphere. All servers were absolutely lovely and attentive. They brought a complimentary little cheese and olive plate- with the most delicious marinated eggplant. We started with the Candian bacon which was delicious. I ordered the Land and Sea and a side of frizzled cauliflower. I have seen that other people didn't find the Land and Sea portion to be large enough, but I was quite satisfied and had to bring some of my filet home. It comes over a small bed of deliciously sautéed spinach, mashed potatoes and some zucchini. This was enough that I definitely didn't have to order an accompaniment, but the frizzled cauliflower is yummy and I have more of it to eat today :) My husband had the ribeye which he enjoyed and was a generous size (he also brought some home). He ordered a side of mashed potatoes which was was a good portion of two scoops. Too stuffed for dessert! I do recommend this restaurant and while steakhouses are always pricey, this is definitely more reasonable than any NYC steak restaurant. We will be back!

    Not my first visit as I enjoy the atmosphere, food and drinks! Today, however was not the best. It was cold inside and had to keep my coat on. Who wants to eat with their coat (winter) on? Also, my guest ordered at the same time I ordered however it took almost half hour for part of her order. We both ordered wings and rasta pasta. I ordered the shrimp & she ordered the chicken. Why did her rasta pasta come out half hour after mine? We were ready to pack up and leave.
