"Excellent filet mignon. Personnel tres sympathique"

"Without a doubt, this is the place for steak done right! Live pianist, great music. Food and staff are top notch! Like other reviews, although the food is cooked to perfection, the dish may not match the menu description. I had a wonderful stuffed with shrimp and scallops salmon but there were no shrimp or scallops. Go figure! Regardless we had a fabulous dinner. My wife's steak and mushrooms were out of this world perfect!"

- Captain D.

"All around excellent. Our server wasn't a speedy one as the others. The steaks were perfectly cooked to temperature. Excellent cut of meat. The complimentary bread loaf was fresh and delicious. Atmosphere is perfect for this location. We will be back when we pass through again."

"Do not let looks deceive you! This little gem is magnificent! We were told to visit here and have the most amazing steak we ever had. When we pulled up, we were not too sure as the building looked very rustic and kind of old. The signage out front didn't seem very updated so we were like thinking this place was a little sketchy, but we were incredibly wrong. It's absolutely rustic, very cozy,comfortable and inviting and the service was outstanding. We sat down and ordered some very tasty craft cocktails, and an appetizer which was very delicious and then we partook in a wonderful steak dinner. My son had lobster. We celebrated his birthday and had the most fabulous dinner ever. Everything was incredible! Steaks were perfectly cooked, lobster succulent, salad ice cold, green beans seasoned fabulously. The desserts were OMG yummy! Carrot cake was moist and cream cheese was perfectly creamy and not sweet. Creme brulee was superior! Creamy custard and top perfect. This restaurant is owned by a Veteran and he pays homage to America and her Vets. Thank you sir for your service and incredible establishment. Kid friendly, ample parking, can handle bigger parties."

- Shari M.

"The food and the service here was amazing. We were visiting family that live local and they raved about this place and the quality of the meat. After eating here I 100% agree however the building looks old and run down on the outside. We almost decided to go somewhere else but I am glad we decided to stay. Overall I still give it a 5 because of the food and the great service and the interior of the location."

"Stopped by to grab dinner and a few drinks. Food was good and even better was the service and conversation with my bartender Jeremy. It was only as I was leaving did I notice all the memorabilia above the bar. Very nice."
