Great experience as always, great service and good. There are steakhouses with more exciting menu options or longer wine list, but none that deliver such a consistently exceptional experience. Keep up the good work.

Everything as usual was perfect except that the wait person helping our waiter was much too eager to clear the table while one of the women in our party was still eating. He should know that you do not remove plates or silverware until all in the group are finished eating. He attempted to take her plate 2 times before she was finished.

We had an amazing time, was even able to be seated earlier than our reservation. Our server was spot on and made us feel valued and special. Took extra time and patience to take photos of us as well.
