    Great steak and shareable sides. Pricy but excellent quality! Service was perfect and very professional! We sat downstairs by the fireplace and it was a beautiful ambiance, very easy to converse and not loud at all. Would highly recommend!

    First time at your restaurant! Food was delicious, service was amazing! Our server was too notch. Having to order the sides was not my favourite as the portions were too big for one person. Would be nice when you ordered your meal that it all came together. Meaning …..your steak and side orders were ordered as one. Other than that we had a very pleasant experience :-)

    The service was extremely slow. The musical was quite loud and the quality of the food was not great. Very disappointed especially since it was my wife's birthday.
