    Meat balls were cold, calamari was decent yet quantity was small, steak was ok (fair for $64), French fries were good.

    Our first time here and we loved it. The inside has an old school feel with amazing service. Our food was cooked perfectly and served hot. Everything we had was delicious (filet was amazing). Cocktails were well put together and had good presentation. We will definitely be back.
