Review
It is not often I get treated to a meal and when I do, it is nothing of this quality. First for me it’s unassuming exterior relaxes you prior to the upcoming culinary extravaganza. It is warm and cozy inside, more like your grandmothers house prior to a celebration. The staff is kind considerate and professional always close by but never overbearing. The meals are served family style and in courses who lends itself to creating amazing memories. My kids, never fans of tomato soup, loved this garlic infused offering. Next came beans, a spaghetti appetizer and a fabulously tossed salad. There was none left by the time the main course reached us leaving us ready for the Piece De Resistance. The green beans were tasty and the potatoes a definite hit however the steaks were out of this world. My son got lamb with was flavorful, tender and a large portion. My daughter the filet which was rich, perfectly cooked and a meal unto itself. Her boyfriend, the pre birthday boy had the ribeye that transported him to another plane of epicurean joy. I had the big daddy porterhouse so I could get the best of both worlds of New York and Ribeye. I still can’t decide which was better so WHEN not if I come back I will get it again. Don’t leave before the ice cream which was greedily devoured by all of us. I highly recommend this gastric gem to all.
