I really love the food here.
The cleanliness of this restaurant is sub par the bread dishes and silverware left something to be desired. The waitress was friendly but not very observant . Definitely lacking in experience. I dont mind spending the money to eat but i tip by serving accordingly usuallyabove 29%. 18% was the minimum tip on the check. I customize down to 8% if that gives you an indication of the lack of service....

My husband, some friends, and I went here to eat. I had the lobster and my husband got a ribeye. My entree was good, but I didn’t like the “mac and cheese”. It tastes like pasta salad and is spicy, which was really disappointing. The ribeye was overcooked, but okay. Service was decent.
