    Just about all of our food last night was top notch! The crab cakes, wedge salad and calamari were terrific appetizers. The upgrade to the onion soup was worth it - it was rich tasting and full of cheese. Our steaks were high quality beef cooked just right. The only disappointment was the carrot cake. It was not the usual layered cake loaded with cream cheese filling. It was almost black in color (couldn't find the carrots!) and had no frosting. I should have sent it back in retrospect. But we will be back! This is a very good steak house!
