    Top tier experience! I made a reservation via OpenTable to celebrate an anniversary. We were seated fairly quickly and our table was decorated with a Happy Anniversary card. The waiter was very friendly, personable and knowledgeable about the menu. For our app, we opted for the crab cakes with red bell pepper sauce. The crab is the star of this appetizer--no overbreading or miscellaneous ingredients to fill the crab cake up. Plain, simple, and delicious. Also, the complimentary dinner rolls came with a whipped smoked cheddar spread and champagne Brie. Both had the softest, velvet-like texture. For entree and sides, my partner and I shared the 35oz tomahawk, the roasted sweet potatoes, and lobster Mac n cheese. Probably one of the best steaks I've eaten due to cut and preparation. Simple ingredients with bold flavor and great technique. The lobster Mac was so good and the roasted sweet potatoes had great flavor profiles. We were too full for dessert, so our waiter gave us complimentary champagne and chocolate truffles. Very pleased with the whole experience. Thank you for a great night to celebrate an anniversary!

    We went specifically for the Chateaubriand special for 2. It came with a shared appetizer (we got the Caesar salad), the chateaubriand (sliced into 4 large pieces), 2 sides (we had the lobster Mac & cheese which had an up charge and bacon & cheese potatoes au gratin) and 2 desserts (we chose the Morton’s hot chocolate cake and the cheesecake). It was so much food that we took home some of the sides and all of the desserts. Everything was delicious!
