The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality and care put into the experience. Definitely a place worth coming back to”

    “Rolled into town on a Wednesday, looking to book a late night party on the upcoming Saturday. Monica behind the bar grabbed the owner Malhi from next door. They were both super helpful and made it easy. Had a great time with good drinks. Even pumped our own music through their sound system. Nice looking place with chill vibe.”

    “This restaurant has been here since 2007 and I really should have gone in sooner, since they have perfected the art of steak. I believe they can give House of Prime Rib a run for their money, especially with their larger portion sizes for about the same price. Their dinner menu has a few options, but their steaks are really well cooked with just enough red without being bloody. Their jus is divine and each bite of steak tastes heavenly with enough flavor and fat that melts in your mouth. They do offer two types of horseradish, as well as salt and pepper on the table. All their entrees come with 2 sides (we really enjoyed the mashed potatoes and cream spinach), a popover (which is good but not as good as their complementary, freshly baked bread), and a house salad which had a lovely dressing that I can't name. We also had two glasses of wine, both bursting with flavor. I'd recommend the Unshackled wine if you want a blended red wine with a fruitier taste or a Merlot for a drier one. While we were too full for dessert, they had delicuous sounding options in creme brulee, tiramisu, and cheesecake. The staff were very friendly, easy to make reservations through a phone call, and we certainly will be dining here again in the future.”
