We made reservations for Valentine’s Day. We arrived 20 min early and they sat us right away. Drinks were fantastic. espresso Martini to start, then speak easy Margarita’s and Old Fashioned for the Hubs. We did not do appetizers so I can’t comment on that but the Dry Aged Pork Chop is what we both ordered with brocolini and truffle fries which was all very good.

This was my first time at this restaurant. All I can say is do your self a favor and GO as soon as you can. The service was excellent; the food was superb; and know that they outsource from local areas is a plus. My husband and I will definitely be back. FYI, the tenderloin was so tender, you didn’t really need a knife!
