    Excellent sirloin and porterhouse steaks cooked to perfection. Tender, juicy medium rare. Our best steaks ever at a Black Angus. The server was fast and friendly. A very enjoyable experience.

    The team there as always provided outstanding service. Very welcoming, attentive and so fun. Unfortunately the food was a little underwhelming (my chicken was dry and my friends’ side dish was cold). However, the holiday decorations were so fun and festive. Had a great evening celebrating my friend’s birthday!
