Wow! One of the best steaks we’ve had in a while. All of our steaks were cooked to perfection. Love the “Pick your weapon” knife! Our server, Cain, was attentive and informative. If you’ve never been here, go! Save room for deserts because they were spectacular! Get the “Meat and Cheese”, chocolate cake and the tart! Also go to the hidden bathroom behind the curtain…beautiful!
