    This restaurant is amazing. We recently celebrated our anniversary and splurged on the tomahawk for two, DELICIOUS! As for the side, the mushrooms were to die for, they were honestly perfect. We rounded out our meal with the key lime pie, and the balance of sweet and bitter was perfect. Finally our server Sean was absolutely wonderful he was knowledgeable, kind and very attentive. It was a perfect dinner.

    My high school friends and I went here last night for our semi-annual catch-up session. All the food was great, service was excellent, and staff was very accommodating in letting us take our time to have an awesome moms night out. Highly recommend the mahi tacos, buffalo cauliflower, and brussels sprouts. Thanks!
