    Everyone said the steak was the best they ever had! We did request a particular table well in advance and were told we would have it for our special occasion and when we arrived someone else was dining there and it wasn’t available. Service from Alex was impeccable.

    I ordered the filet mignon and my husband ordered the quail. Both were delicious! We also tried the Texas kisses and the strawberry cheesecake! Alex, our server was awesome and knowledgeable. The view, the music and ambience was also very nice. We’ll definitely be back!

    For a change the whole table opted out of steaks and beef and chose seafood and quail with seafood appetizers included. Alex was a great server and with the table in a prime spot by the windows we had a nice time catching up and visiting. However, my sea bass entree was rather small and overcooked. The flavor and veggies were perfect but the fish could have been a little larger and less cooked. Overall we had a nice dinner and will surely be back again.
