    It was better than I expected. The ribeye was one of the best steaks I've had in a while. Like close your eyes and take it in while eating it. I'm pretty picky when it comes to steak and this was cooked perfectly, not too raw and not too cooked. Very juicy and tender. This was my second visit, and I can say it was great both times.

    This is such a cute cross between fine dining and local watering hole. If the evening had been a bit warmer, we’d have loved to sit on the patio. The drinks were good and the filet was fantastic. The Basque cheesecake was the perfect finish to dinner.
