First time customers and we will be back. I had the filet and husband had the ribeye. Both steaks were so tender and seasoned just right! Service was top notch too! Everyone was very friendly! I would highly recommend this place!

What happened to this place :( We travel up here four times a year and always eat here, we noticed it slowly declining each time we came but last night was definitely the last time :( We had a party of six and five of the six people ordered steak. Different stakes mind you, porterhouse filet mignons, ribeye and the Big Chief and every single steak was so tough that nobody enjoyed it. We are honestly not a complaining group of people and didn't mention anything to the waitress, I didn't see the point since it wasn't a one-off steak it was all five of them and they were all different cuts. The sides came out long after the meals, It took 25+ minutes to get our drinks every time and we were there two and a half hours in total... Spent $350 for a meal no one enjoyed :(

We had the saganaki cheese appetizer which was okay. It was a little over cooked, but fine. We had to ask for refills twice and never were checked on. The steak doesn’t come with a side. I had the prime rib and it was terrible. So much pepper I couldn’t eat it. When the waitress took my plate she didn’t even ask why I didn’t eat it. Just took it when I was facing my baby and left. I will say the cheesecake is fantastic, but I will not go back.

I come here all the time.

Best steak house in a 30 min radius, however recently they are always closed!

It’s Monday at 755 and they close at 9 doors locked.

I drove all the way over here to get the only good dinner around and your closed.

This is why your getting less and less customers your hardly ever opened. Before long this place will close if they don’t change what they are doing.

Amazing staff, Amiee was an amazing server she was busy but we definitely felt like we were her only table. We had the calamari and the saganaki unfortunately saganaki got hard within seconds not very edible afterwards. We didn't retuen it we just didn't eat it or enjoy it. We ordered the sirloin medium rare inside was cooked perfectly however I feel it was over chared on the outside, the king crab was over cooked. But overall it was a great experience.

We received a gift certificate and were excited to go. All the good reviews I was hoping for a relaxing evening with good food and drinks. That was not our experience.
First the parking was awful, we could barely get back in there as cars were parked all crazy. The lot is dark and spaces not very well marked.
When we walked in first thing you notice is the gaming, a turn off for us. If we wanted to go to a casino, we would have gone to a casino. We waited a few minutes but were greeted nicely. We were seated at a very small table for 2 and felt packed in, and crowded, it was dark and loud.
Our server was friendly, I wish I could tell you her name but couldn't hear it.
I started with a bloody mary, it was awful. Tasted like watered down tomato juice. Opted not to try any other drinks.
We ordered, and headed to the salad bar, it was small with few options. Lettuce was not crisp and not very cold, radishes were water logged, dressings not marked well.
We returned to the table to find two plates with a piece of garlic bread that were nothing special. Seemed to be just like the texas toast you buy at Walmart, just toasted on the grill, tasted like it as well.
This table was so small and full with only 2 small plates and 3 glasses, it added to the crowded in feeling.
We ordered a ribeye and the king crab legs. His ribeye was supposed to be medium rare, it was medium well. The crab legs were not very hot, and were very salty. The vegetables were so soggy. I was so disappointed.
At this time I just wanted to go. It was not the relaxing time or good food we were expecting.
We were packed in like sardines, and heard every bit of the conversation of the table we were on top of. Not one part of our $135 meal was good and the drink was terrible. The only good, was our sweet waitress.
We will not return.

The food and staff at this restaurant are amazing. Super friendly and accommodating. The slight under rating on the atmosphere is due to the facility being somewhat dated not to mention there being a significant trip hazard in the back room that appears to be a sunken floor drain, which I'd mention has been in that condition for a very long time. And by long time I mean it was that way a year ago when I went there. Even so, the food and service makes up for any facility issues.

The food was terrible! The filet was suppose to be medium but was well done and burnt on the outside. It was 2” wide and an inch high. The au gratin potatoes were bland. Limited selection in salad bar. Didn’t say anything because my family paid for my meal. I will never go back or recommend. It is nothing, not even close to when Pete and John owned it. A Friday night and I don’t think there was 20 people in there. I was so disappointed.

Boyfriend and I went here for our first time after being recommended by our friends. Walked in and was greeted with smiles and hello’s. Sat right away after we made a last minute reservation 2hrs prior. Server was amazing. Food came out insanely quick and was delicious. 10/10 experience
