Probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had. We started off with the tenderloin bruschetta and side salads, yum! We ordered x2 14oz ribeyes with au gratin potatoes - and one word - WOW! We also ordered aside of the Cabernet reduction to dip our steak in - best decision! We also had the pecan crusted trout and it was delicious. I highly recommend the drink ‘White Linen’ if you like gin & a drink that tastes light and refreshing. We finished it all off with a crème brûlée. Literally a perfect meal and I can’t remember our servers name, but he was awesome as well. Ambience was soft lighting, which is my favorite.
