                            Went there with family to celebrate the holiday, we had a great time. From the time we walked in the door everything was perfect. Anthony took great care of us, and the food was great too! Looking forward to dining there again.

                            Such a great concept. Steak was tasty and the sauce was delicious! Dekota, the hostess was the sweetest.

                            Great food and service — everything was excellent. Only downside was the noise and music level; it was a bit loud.
