    Not that busy of a Saturday night but our dinner took 90 min to come out. Seems like server forgot our table. Steak was bland and overcooked. Just amateur hour.

    This is the second year we have been to dinner there for a corporate outing. We love it and it is likely to become "our spot" for our yearly event. Thanks for the great food and service!

    The food was very good, no doubt about it. The service was excellent and they are very focused on making sure we had a great experience. However, my medium rare was a little more medium than rare, and one person in our party ordered a ribeye and received a ny strip. Not enough of a problem to discuss at the time, (nobody wants to be the guy sending food back) but since this email had solicited an opinion, I'm submitting this with an attempt to be constructive. Overall, positive experience.
