    The food was great! We had the steak frites and the goat cheese appetizer. Desiree was our server and she was so sweet! Helped us make the selections and had great cocktails. Highly recommend.

    Had a great night out with a group of friends. We sat outside in the patio. Only comment would be to have more large group friendly tables for outdoor seating. Food was great as always. Service was friendly. Will definitely return.

    I can't say enough about the quality of this food. Even the cocktails were outstanding. The only slip up was that I ordered the filet rare and it came out way overcooked. They quickly removed it and presented me with the most flavorful filet and cooked to perfection thst I have ever experienced. My entire party was RAVING about the "best meal". My daughter wouldn't shut up about her steak frittes. The meat was as tender as my filet. We WILL be back soon!
