“Excellent food and outstanding service. Started the meal off with spinach dip.it was delicious, had a crusty parmesan cheese topping and served with toasted Flatbread pieces. I highly recommend. Then we had the ribeye steaks that were cooked perfectly. As a side we had the Brussels sprouts and the mac & cheese, both very good, and a couple well portioned salads. The meal was excellent. Then finished off the evening with the chocolate stampede. A layered chocolate dessert paired with ice cream, it will satisfy your sweet tooth and chocolate cravings.“
