Unbelievable. I live, breathe, and die by Bryant and Cooper. One of the best steakhouses I have been to in my entire life. Best on the east coast. No competition among others in the same category. Cajun Ribeye is like medicine. Every appetizer is stellar and impeccable. I couldnt say nicer things about Bryant and Cooper. Ive been coming my entire life and will plan to bring everyone here including my family. Thanks for being the best.
