    the Council Oak Steakhouse is a very good restaurant with high-quality food and phenomenal service. The kitchen is behind a glass wall so as the art can be watched as your food is being prepared. The only noticeable noise coming from the kitchen only seemed to be the cleaning and shuffling of the dishes. I noticed multiple quality control test being conducted: steaks cut open and sampled by the chef was impressive.

    For appetizers we had the calamari, oysters Rockefeller, and shrimp Charlie, they all were delicious. The garlic bread is perfection! The 4 for $40 was an incredible value!! The blackened Halibut was amazing. The cheesecake is huge. Came from Chicago and it was definitely worth the drive 10/10
