    I loved the choices on the menu. The stuffed zucchini was great, husband liked the meatloaf. I liked the choices on the kids menu. One granddaughter had the mini cheeseburger with fruit and the other granddaughter had a small bowl of chili. I thought the prices were reasonable for such an upscale atmosphere.

    The menu is a fine choice of 5 star entrees. We like to arrive at opening when it’s least crowded. So excellent for a quiet annual anniversary dinner. We won’t have it anywhere else.

    Filets and Pork with Nola shrimp and bread appetizers. All perfect. Took our own wine. Great meal and evening in a booth with new friends to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary and our 46th.

    Paid 60 dollars for a ribeye, so i expected it to taste like one of the best steaks Ive ever had but unfortunately it kinda sucked. And my beer was past its best by date by a month and a half on top of that, for $5 a beer it better be fresh. Very disappointed that i could have just cooked a meal at home for a fraction of what i spent here to have a good tasting meal. Everything else was fine just felt like I wasted a bunch of money on what I thought was going to be good food.

    Love this place but service was slow. Filet was cooked well but was not a prime cut last for the price of $60. Enjoyed the ambiance. Will return but order something else. Ordered the spinach dip which was served with bread that was charred on the grill. Grill char not my favorite flavor. Easy to get a reservation.

    Nice settings on their deck. Service was good and menu limited. Expecting a sandwich menu on the deck but limited to 5 entrees. Had the flatiron steak with mashed potatoes and carrots and asparagus. Ordered medium on the steak and when it was served it had a gray color on top as if it had not touched the grill. Cut off a section to share with my wife. She said it was just ok but would not suggest it to anyone. My part of the steak was full of gristle and almost impossible to cut. Most was left on my plate cut or chewed into small pieces. Waitress was none existent and when she came to take the plate and saw the remnants only to ask if I was finished. Worst steak meal I’ve ever had period. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone!!
