Kelly, our server, was fantastic! Our steak was cooked perfectly, the King Crab was delicious, amd the sides were just as good as the main items. We finished dinner with carrot cake to go and it was better than I hoped! Not our first visit, and will def return!

This is a classic steak house from back in the day and the food is amazing. Love the fact that when you order the steak it includes the soup/salad and potato instead of everything being a separate charge. The price was also very reasonable, and the food was delicious. We will be going back for another special occasion.

We shared 2 orders of baked clams, which were excellent. Three of us had prime rib and one had the bone-in ribeye. All were cooked perfectly and very tasty. We loved the salads with the house-made dressings as well. Our server was very attentive to us and made sure we had a memorable evening.

Everything tasted good but the steaks were luke warm. Also my wife has a shell fish allergy and server used the same tongs she picked up a lobster tail with and served her steak she had a mild reaction.
