The service is fantastic. They are prompt to check on you without hovering and care about your experience. The food is amazing. I had the Char Grilled Black Angus Fillet. The fillet came cooked perfectly to order and the red wine Demi glaze was outstanding. The fresh vegetables were perfectly cooked and consisted of squash strips, eggplant strips and red pepper strips. My GF had the char-grilled porterhouse pork chop. The rice was slightly below her standard but being Puerto Rican, she is a bit of a rice snob. The apples were a bit sour but added a nice contrast to the chop. Overall, this is a high recommend. The place needs an aesthetic update but you can’t eat the decor. The only bad thing I can say if forced is that my butter for the bread was served right out of the fridge and would have destroyed the warm bread. I asked for it to be warmed up a bit and the waitress had no issue. Again, great service with a smile.

The food was outstanding! Truly one of the best steaks I’ve ever had in my life - the ribeye special was served hot, well-seasoned, perfectly cooked, and buttery melt-in-your-mouth texture. The shrimp and crab bisque, croquette, and Caesar salad were all really great too. I had a hard time deciding what to get for dessert because everything sounded incredible - went with the creme brûlée and it did not disappoint! Portion sizes for everything were generous - we both came home with leftovers. Quality, taste, beautiful presentation, and portion size were all on par for the prices and exceeded expectations. The owner was so great and really wonderful to talk to as well! There’s a lovely outdoor seating area when weather is nice, and the atmosphere inside is warm and cozy - everyone feels like a friend. Definitely make a reservation in advance and plan to enjoy a drink at the bar while you wait for your table because it gets packed. Our drinks (regular brandy old fashioneds) were $12 each and that felt a little pricey for what they were, but fine for a special night out. If you’re opposed to credit card fees, bring cash. Great find - a really special place. I can absolutely see why they have regulars!

The food here is always good. You pay the price but totally worth it if it's a special occasion. I had lobster tail and filet mignon which were perfectly cooked. My husband had the scallops again perfectly cooked. But with those two meals and three drinks it cost us $200! Do not go if you're on a budget. Budgets don't work well here. But I will say the food was perfect.

We have been going here for years and were always impressed with the food and service. New owners took over about a month ago and we were so happy to meet MJ who met us at the door and really treated us like family without knowing if it was our first visit or 50th. Thank you for making my mothers birthday dinner one to remember! We’ll be back soon
