Several of the orders were very good to include the Tomahawk Pork Chop, Filet Mignon and Chilean Sea Bass but the Ribeye wasn't cooked properly and was already cooling down which allowed some of the excess fat (which there was too much of) to congeal. We weren't provided bread with the salads and had to ask for it. The booth seats could use a refurbish as you can feel the springs through the thin padding. I feel the pricing is a little high but overall it was a good experience. Would I visit them again...probably not.
