Meat dishes were very flavorful but the “lean” instructions were problematic. Some of the slices were lean but others were fatty. We asked them to try again but received pushback from the kitchen. “This IS lean.” We complained to the wait staff with much better results. Sides were good to outstanding. Service friendly and helpful but we had to ask multiple times for extra napkins and never got salt, which would have helped one of the vegetable dishes. We were able to get a small portion of BBQ sauce although it seemed (without being obvious) as though they took it as a bit of an insult. Maybe the salt as well. I get that but the customer is always right, eh?

The service was as outstanding as the food! I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t order off the regular menu (Thanksgiving) but our waitress and the manager more than made up for it and were happy to accommodate my dietary restrictions!
