"A well-deserved 4 stars! First time here, and it didn't disappoint. Loved the ambiance, lighting, and the food. The steaks were cooked to perfection, and the drinks were well made. The ribs are absolutely outstanding - fall-off-the-bone tender with amazing flavor."

"We had our event here last night & it was perfect. I'm so glad we decided to hire the private space upstairs with our own private bar & restroom. The food was amazing and well worth it. Thanks to our lovely bar staff - she took great care of us all night!"
