    Don’t go here unless you have to. Planned a special dinner for my son’s birthday that was ruined by overcooked steaks, delayed/poor service and zero mention of a birthday that I informed them was the reason for our visit. Just disappointing all around. Atmosphere reads like a Holiday Inn banquet hall.

    The experience was awful. We were treated very poorly. I wrote a lengthy review on google. I felt like I was treated like I didn’t mean anything. They didn’t value my time . I wouldn’t recommend any of my veteran or retired military to eat here. It was that bad.

    Perfect for a business lunch. Love a steakhouse that the plate sizzles as well.

    Our server was Jai and he was absolutely wonderful. Pleasant and friendly and even cracked a few jokes. We went to dinner for my wife’s birthday and we were thrilled with the food and the experience! We both got a steak and got a few sides and had a decent amount of left overs. The tuna poke was so fresh and delightful! Great experience!! 10 stars!

    We absolutely love having dinner here. The food is amazing. The touch of bringing one of their award-winning meatballs to each person upon sitting is great. They are absolutely delicious! I also appreciate the dress code at the restaurant.
