Service was okay. Food was incredibly mediocre for the price. I ordered a medium rare steak and it was well done. You could tell that it was a cheap cut of meat as well on top of knowing that you’re getting a sirloin for $45. The scenery and ambience were great and the drinks were good though.

Overall - OK, we order a steak and was over cooked. Notify the waiter but they acknowledge and continued on waitressing’s. Next, I order a Coke, drank it and the waiter refilled it. When I received my bill I was charged for two. If the restaurant is going to charger pre glass- it should be noted on the menu.

The service provider, Michelle, went out of her way to comfort our young daughters. The promptness of the entire service and attention to detail was exceptional. We will certainly return.
