Service was excellent, we were quick to be seated and when we found the table was too small for our group we were quickly moved. Waiter was well informed on menu and offered great suggestions. Service was quick all around. The food was okay and came out quickly but we found the temperature to not be hot and some food was a little salty. We had the prime rib but for the money paid, it was not worth it. Large amount of fat and was very rare and not hot. The potatoes were okay but not great and also room temperature. Overall for amount paid we all felt that we would not return.

I wish this restaurant had better more healthy choices. Everything that came out had a spicy taste to it including the wedge salad. Service is 5 star and ambience is fantastic. Food is mediocre at best. They try hard though.

Asked for inside with it being cold outside. So they sat us in front of the open door? Asked for a booth out of the draft zone and was told sorry they are all reserved. Empty the entire time of our dinner.
