The service and ambiance were top-notch and by far the reason I would go again. Traverse was a fantastic waiter and made our anniversary special! My wife had the filet mignon, and I had the New York strip. We both thought our steaks were great, and the grilled garlic cloves paired nicely. Additionally, I highly recommend you get the bread as a starter. The bread and the butter were sensational.
