Cooked to perfection and well seasoned as a big chunk of beef should be - delicious and a LOT of food. The girls shared a crème brûlée for dessert and thoroughly enjoyed it. Service is impeccable and a team effort. We had a 6 pm reservation.

As always, the food was divine . We split the beef steak salad and it was so much and so delicious. We got fillets, bacon wrapped scallops, and the crab mac & cheese.
