We were driving through town and going to meet a friend. We told her we wanted a really good steak. The three of us had dinner, their entrees were great. One had prime rib, rare; and the other had the 18oz ribeye, medium. I ordered the two 4oz filets in a lemon wine sauce, medium rare. The SAUCE was fantastic. The waitress never came back to check on us. The meat was still mooing! Took several attempts at flagging her down just to get a cup of coffee. She brings the check and asks if we want dessert!! It was wonderful to see... read more

Steak was so tender, I could've cut it with a butter knife. Great service! I rarely tip well, as I rarely get great service, but my waiter was tipped very nicely. Will definitely go back. Happy New Year.

Amazing food and great service! My husband and I have eaten here 2 years in a row on New Year’s Eve and will keep up with that tradition. The mozzarella sticks are homemade and melt on your mouth! The Italian steak is our favorite and seasoned to perfection! How anyone could rate less than 5* is beyond me. I’d give it a 10* if I could! Loved the extra hours open this year!
