A pleasant dining experience as expected for the price. The ambience and the noise level were very good. The food was good as expected for a restaurant in this range, but not extraordinary. The wagyu strip loin was flavorful but not tender as expected. The salads and appetizers were ok as was the dessert. All in all a pleasant experience but not exemplary.

I love this place, but for some reason it wasn’t what I expected. Appetizers was great as always, but our meal was not the way I always have it not holding you against anyone. I will always come back just a little disappointed of this time coming there.

Amazing! From this year’s oyster and bread basket appetizers to the crème brûlée dessert…a delicious meal with great friendly service. We have come here for the past seven years (for our anniversary dinner) and have never been disappointed.

There were 4 of us and we all loved what we had. Calamari was delicious, lightly. Relaxed and 2 dip options, beer and goat cheese salad was delicious, and we all loved our entrees (steaks and prime rib). Garlic mashed potatoes are flavorful and the cheese cake and cherry jubilee brownie desserts were shared among us. All enjoyed immensely. Our server Eman was awesome, she joined in our banter and was attentive without hovering.

Always an amazing experience. The steak is consistently awesome as is the service, well all the food is, but last evening we had the steak. Totally worth a visit anytime of day.
