Fabulous meal in a really fun setting. Our server was delightful. Food was really over the top great and not just typical steakhouse fare. It what I would call cheap but I feel like we very much received what we paid for. The plating of the dishes was really well done as well. Very thoughtfully put together.

Another fine dining experience at the steakhouse. The cheeseboard is a wonderful appetizer as well as the brussels sprouts with cauliflower. We enjoyed the salmon and the baramundi this evening. Both fish were cooked perfectly. The autumn cheesecake is a wonderful seasonal dessert.
