    My husband and I flew in to celebrate Easter with our son who is a senior in college. Meal was excellent! Espresso martinis, and coconut cake dessert was to die for! We will be back!

    Had a great Easter dinner. Some confusion on Mac and lobster but our waiter figured it out. His actual name was Mac. Loved the steak and eggs. Everything was real nice but we sat on the 1st floor last year we sat on 2nd floor and I prefer the 2nd thank you

    Great experience overall. It was pretty packed/high energy when we walked in but we were able to get a table upstairs that was quieter and had more privacy which was great. We got the ceasar to start which they split for us (love that) and it was soo good — perfect amount of dressing, yummy parm crisps, fresh lemon on the side. My bf got the dry aged ribeye and I got the prime NY, both med rare cooked to perfection (sadly didn’t take a pic after cutting and this pic doesn’t do them justice but trust me they were excellent). I’m a sucker for asparagus and montreal steak seasoning so had to get that and the mash, both delicious and great serving sizes. We will be back soon!!

    Chris was our server and was very knowledgeable in the area of wine. He taught us quite a few things and helped us understand more about the aging process etc. All the staff were kind and caring. Food was amazing. The vibe was fancy and was a great date night out!
