    Our server was Chris and he was very good and it was very busy tonight. My husband and I both got the January prefix special. We both had the steak his was rare and mine was medium. We had the meat salad, which was absolutely terrific. Our dinners came with potatoes and vegetables. We both had leftovers plus our desserts haven’t tried them yet, but I’m sure they’re great. I cannot believe I’ve never reviewed this restaurant as we’ve been here so many times.

    We were seated promptly upon arrival and our server greeted us immediately. Drinks arrived quickly, along with Sourdough rolls, which were really fresh! We ordered Louis salads and a couple of sides. Everything was delicious and we left extremely satisfied with our dinner. Be sure to make reservations, otherwise you risk waiting for a table to open up while you get hungrier!
