We had not been to this restaurant for years due to bad experiences. Since we had gift cards, we decided to give it a try. Wow! We were glad we did. The food was delicious and well seasoned. The service was also great. The only negative is the furniture—tables and chairs are wobbly. It was a distraction from otherwise high end experience

All was generally good but after mentioning several times that we had no time constraints, our server was at our table every 5 minutes to move us along. We had cocktails, appetizers, and entrees and we were paying our bill 1 hour and 5 minutes from the time we walked in. Felt very rushed.

Had a last girl's dinner before my best friend got married, and it was just great!! Relaxing, great atmosphere. Delicious, fresh food and good wine selection.

Nice way to start the week - quick dinner after a wine tasting … the wine of the month “Cabelleros” is a wonderful red pairing perfectly with beef. Very attentive staff & food is consistently good.
