This is the second time that I have dined there, and both experiences have been exceptional! Our server, Brandon, made sure that the timing of our food was perfect. That’s something that’s super important to me. He had great recommendations and he, as well as his assistant, where incredibly attentive. The food was equally as amazing. I think their sides are hands-down, the best sides of any steakhouse around. Definitely becoming one of our favorite places to dine.

I got very very lucky and got a last minute reservation for a date in the Den! Every staff member we came in contact with was sweet and seemed to be having fun :) Would absolutely recommend for anyone looking to have a unique and colorful night out. Drink options were plentiful, and I absolutely adored the #4 sour inspired cocktail
