My wife and I had a very good meal. We both had a fillet with sides of brussels sprouts and sautéed mushrooms. I had The lobster bisque to begin and then we each had a salad. My wife had the house salad, and I had the wedge with blue cheese dressing. We ended the meal by having the mandarin orange cake for dessert. My overall impression is that this was a very good/excellent steakhouse, but the shining light for me was the outstanding service. Would I return? Yes, but there is another steakhouse in Orlando that I like as much, which might be a vet value.
