    The food and drinks were delicious and our space at our table was perfect. It's a little bit pricey for the food that you actually get. Maybe that's just our really horrible world at this time! Hopefully after January some things will begin to change.

    Wonderful experience. Great service,, amazing food, cool ambiance. We had a family of 5, who all had steak and drinks, so it was costly for us; but with it. The filet and strips were done to perfection and were delicious. The beef tallow candle on the bread - first time for us seeing this and eating it- so good!
