A great place to go for steak and Italian food. A nice place for a birthday or anniversary. The service was excellent. Nice... variety of food options on their menu plus a large wine selection. They have room to accommodate larger parties as well. Read more

Our server was excellent. We had a party of 10 and he did not miss a beat. Great food. We had about 80% of the menu and... everything was delicious. I had the surf & turf which was amazing. The fettuccine alfredo left more to be desired. Escargot wasabsolutely fantastic. Read more

I had 7:30 reservations & the place was overly crowded. Took an hour for us to be seated on a Saturday night. Filet Mignon was... amazing. I upgraded to fettuccine Alfredo for $4 more(was a bit bland needed more sauce). Overall food was really good & had thebeef carpaccio as an appetizer. I would definitely come back. If wait wasn't so long would've given them 5 stars. Read more

Im not a huge fan of the floor plan. I think it makes it seem like we?re really close to the other tables. The steaks were... delicious and very tender. I think the loaded baked potato is missing something. They may have put too much sour cream becauseto me it felt a little bland. The Gorgonzola had no flavor so don?t waste your money on that. Overall they have good steak,decent food and a not so great atmosphere. Read more

The service was great & worthy of 5 stars, but unfortunately the food was not. The calamari looked amazing and they give you... plenty, but unfortunately it was very dry & chewy. We ate a few pieces and chose not to take it home.. it felt horrible to wastefood, but it just wasn't worth it.. The house salad consisted of iceberg lettuce, 3 small green olives, 1 piece of tomato & verylittle dressing, which left it flavorless. The prime rib was perfectly cooked, but the green beans were over cooked and supersoft. Overall it was not the worst experience, but I expected so much more, this place has been around for many years & had agreat reputation for their food. They used to have luxury cars lined up down the street waiting for the valet. This could be aone-off. That's what I'm hoping at least. Read more
