Great food and service. The steaks were very good and the lobster mac n cheese was flavorful with decent chunks of lobster! We also really enjoyed the firecracker shrimp and deviled eggs. The staff was amazing making our special occasion extra special.
Ate lunch in bar. Elk burger was juicy and delicious. Mini Gyro were great
Plenty of seats in and outside, clean and neat.
