The food was absolutely wonderful reasonably priced and an absolute must try! The center cut fillet cooked rare was amazing and a small plate of tri tip with a side of fries for my son was the perfect meal!

Food and Service were excellent. Ordered the roasted chicken which was a lot better then what I imagined it would be a long with the mashed sweet potatos and macaroni. I only wish their rolls were better. They go cold too fast.
