    I ordered the Calamari for an appetizer and it was very good. I then ordered the Porterhouse steak for 2 and it was plenty. No need for any sauce, the meat was made perfectly and had a lot of flavor. I ordered the Thai chili Brussel sprouts and it was flavorful however there was too much sauce and the sprouts were very small. Overall the food and atmosphere was great and I would recommend.

    From beginning to end the dining experience was excellent. We were greeted by Robert and led to a private table. Our servers were attentive and described all specials and menu's perfectly. Prices of specials were not mentioned. We didn't have a problem with that, but other diners may. Every selection we chose, and there were 4 adults, were a hit!! The flavor of each dish kept you coming back for more. From appetizers, salad, entree's and desserts we walked out full and happy. Will definitely return to this Gem!!
