The dining experience was outstanding, and the food matched that level. The staff impressed us, especially the waiter, who went well beyond expectations to clarify the menu since it was our first visit. We will certainly return for another five-star experience.

Best prime rib ever, not one bad thing on the menu and the bill wasn’t crazy for a 2 person dine-in (Under $200). Get the King Henry cut, you’re able to get a second slice after finishing your first. The season salt and horse radish made every bite outta this world.
