I enjoy the steak there. The unlimited salad bar is always a welcome addition to a meal, but make sure not to fill up on the great bread they keep up there. The wait staff is usually very attentive. They have an on-premise butcher shop.

What I dislike is showing up at 5pm on a Monday, seeing an almost totally empty restaurant, and being told by an obnoxious Host that they're booked solid and I can't get in until 7pm.

Me: (looking around) "But it's practically empty..."
Host: "We have reservations that start at 6pm."
Me: "It's only 5pm now. It's not like it takes the 2 of us that long to eat."
Host: "I can't do it."

Meanwhile, a Hostess comes up behind him. I explain the situation to her. He helplessly gestures at the reservation book. She looks at it, looks at him like he has 3 heads, and says "Follow me." Sounds like they still have some training to do.

From the moment we walked in we were treated to the ultimate in pampering.  I've been three times and it's always been a treat.  From the hostess to the waitstaff to the gormet food, everything was absolutely perfect.  I recommend the filet mignon, deliciously seared on the outside and cooked to order on the inside.  The bar upstairs is the perfect place to have an intimate drink or a casual chat with friends.  Can't wait to go back!

This is one of my all time favorite restaurants!  They have the best salad bar in the state and the staff is soo nice and accomodating.  The bartenders upstairs are great.  Every Monday night they have a dinner special where you get a free bottle of wine with two entrees. You really can't beat that!
