    Haven’t been there in over six years and still one of our favorites! Very nice experience and decided to try something different and go at the open on a Sunday afternoon. Everything was as good as we remember.

    The quality of food here is excellent. The service was very attentive throughout the night. The only negative thing I would have to say is that the sometimes the mean serving the meat tableside were unaware of the juices from the meat splattering onto us or the table as they carved the meat for us. Both my husband and I were worried that our clothes and/or jackets would get stained. I did get a couple of splatters on my top by one of them but quickly did my best to get it with some water. The delicious food though is undeniable. Before I remember them stating that the meat was grassfed...but I don't hear them saying that anymore nor do I see it on their website. Has this changed?

    Usually its an amazing time this was our go to restaurant for special occasions, unfortunately this time our server had an attitude and was over all rude , sad to say we will not be dining again it was my husband’s birthday and honestly the server and the treatment really ruined the evening for me . When asked server for a manager . Manager never came and I highly doubt he even told the manager I wanted to speak to him .

    The staff is amazing, polite, attentive, and quite frankly over the top VIP service. Everyone goes for the delicious woodfired meats, which are amazing, but the total experience was awesome.
