It was reallllly great! We enjoyed every bit of it- service was spectacular, every single employee was on top of it, kind, knowledgeable. Food was incredible. Tableside Caesar salad was amazing. We got the Ribeye and it was delicious especially with a side of Turners sauce. Brussel sprouts were *chefs kiss*! I wasn’t crazy about the Alaskan crab Mac and cheese. But I would definitely get the puréed potatoes next time, a little scoop came with our steak and I wanted more!! The tableside martini cart added such a special touch. My husband and I enjoyed the interactive experience. We will definitely be back!
