    We made a reservation prior to going. The staff greeted us very nicely, the waitress, waiters and servers were all extremely kind. I would definitely return to this establishment. The drinks were evenly proportioned to the taste. We ordered old fashions and margarita. The food was extremely delicious the steak and mushroom, the beef stroganoff, chicken cordon blu and the kids steak and fries. It is a slightly pricey restaurant but well worth it! Great please to celebrate something special. The vibes and music were amazing I have nothing but great things to say about this establishment.
