We made a 6:15 reservation for Valentine's Day. It was busy, but not overwhelming. And it pretty quiet for being a fully booked restaurant. I loved the ambiance arms the lightly. It wasn't too dim that you couldn't see, but enough to be romantic. We only had to wait a minute to be taken to our table. Our server CJ was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We ordered drinks which came out quickly and were delicious. I had an espresso martini ale my husband had the lambrusco smash. We both got the crab bisque, such was a little on the non-traditonal side, but still was delicious. Shortly after that our meals came out. I ordered the Chefs cut steak which was a Hanger steak with chimichurri served with roasted fingerling potatoes. My husband ordered the King Cut Ribeye with bourbon cream sauce and chili parmesan fries. Everything was amazing and service was very speedy. A little too speedy for a date night. We wanted to savor our time there and ordered a couple more drinks and CJ said he didn't mind that we stayed a little longer. We used an app called InKind to pay for our meal and received a $30 off coupon, and then also received a credit to use in the future at another place. There were so many delicious things to choose from on the menu and I cannot wait to go here again. I highly recommend this place.
