Excellent Dining and Service Experience

superb service friendly attitude quick seating succulent steak
Jamie provided superb service when my sons and I dined. He greeted us with a friendly attitude. We were seated quickly. Drinks arrived promptly. Our steaks were succulent, cooked perfectly, and well presented.
The parking lot was somewhat busy due to its town center location, at times making it hard to find a space.
