    Absolutely delicious food and the service was beyond what I expected for a Christmas dinner. The staff working on Christmas Day were extremely pleasant and hard working to ensure all the tables were taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious. The New York steak was beyond delicious and all our drinks were also perfection. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice and a place we could sit and talk comfortably.

    The reservations were down but they welcomed us in. It wasn’t busy plenty of space. Our waitress was awesome and the other servers as well. As they came by to serve very helpful with our questions. We will be back. I was really hoping that Danny Trejo would have been there. But it’s okay we’ll be back awesome food awesome service thanks again.

    Everything was good and right there on Ocean. I would have liked if they said no valet or validation on their sign at the curb. Instead it said $12 w validation. When I was talking with the parking attendant, he was confused and so was I, lol. Everything else was geeat.
