Another nice dinner at QB. I enjoyed the short rib entree, but am so sad I left my take home on the table :( The sides with the short rib were intense in flavor and just the right portion. I recommend.

This was the perfect spot to celebrate our son’s birthday. Our server, Ashley, was perhaps the best we’ve ever experienced! She went above and beyond to make the evening special. It’s the little details that add up to an evening that you want to repeat. Oh, and the 18 Hour Short Ribs and bread pudding did not disappoint!

The staff was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and accommodating throughout the evening. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the special Valentine’s Day menu. While we were made aware of the fixed menu and pricing in advance, I found it to be too restrictive and overpriced for what was offered. The quality of the food did not justify the cost, and the portion sizes for each course were underwhelming. I understand that special event menus are often limited, but I expected a better balance of quality, quantity, and value.
