This was Our first dining experience and we were celebrating our son’s 29th birthday… What an awesome experience from beginning to end. Upon arrival, we were great immediately at the front desk and set promptly. Our server was very friendly and welcoming. He explained the menu and all the features and even gave us his opinion on his favorites. Being it was our first time it was very helpful. All our dinners were delicious. We each had a steak, the filet, the strip steak and aged ribeye. The small plates were just the right size and we enjoy the Arancini‘s and the empanadas. Delicious! Our steaks were prepared according to our liking and was accompanied with mashed potatoes and the green bean salad. The best green beans. They were charred and had a very light dressing to enhance the flavor. We shared the gingerbread cake for dessert and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be going back.
