When you first open the door you are swept with the feeling of peace and classicness. The feeling of the establishment is cross between a quaint Irish pub and a 1920s speak easy. The staff was awesome and the cook was amazing. I had the prime rib. First steak I've ever had that I didn't have to send back. Also had the deep fried ice cream. It's REAL deep fried ice cream, not the corn flake BS that other places pass as deep fried ice cream.
My Fiancé had the NY Strip, you can read her review on here as well under Jackie.
This is the very first place that I've ever given all five stars in every category. Also, they have no shortage of alcohol, I would recommend the Long Island or the old fashion with a twist.

The food was really good! I got a New York strip steak and it was so tender! I have only had that tender of steak at home! The broccoli was the perfect amount of crunchy (perfect in my book) I hate soggy veggies so I was excited when the broccoli was cooked perfect! The cauliflower was also good and I despise cauliflower. The only thing I would ask for differently next time is for the steak to be cooked in the Ashu sauce that my fiance's steak was cooked in. Mine was a bit plain but went excellently with the brown gravy. Overall I am very pleased with my experience here!

Beer is always ice cold. My steak was great. Pork chop on Thursday is a must try. Mussel’s appetizer was great.

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere.My steak was cooked to perfection. This is the first time in ages where I didn’t have to send my steak back due to it not being cooked properly. I was happy with every bite. Seafood scampi was delicious. Chicken tenders and spaghetti as well! New favorite spot in Dubois. Will be back frequently! Thank you for an amazing experience!
