Impression:
- excellent bread basket and 3 variations of butter that keeps you going back to them
- very good service
- non-steak dishes ranged from good to excellent
- prime rib was full of gristle and inedible
- good sides with a slight twist especially for a steakhouse
- desserts were generally poor with any sort of baked elements being quite dry
