Jordan was our waitress and she made our son's birthday very special. The food is amazing. This really isn't your daddy's steakhouse. The DJ playing the techno vibes was very cool. The ambience and seating were modern yet comfortable. Menu was fabulous. I was hoping for a solid burger but they didn't serve that. Food quality was top notch. Definite recommend for a special experience.
