"Absolutely blown away at the flavor coming from this beef. At first I was a little put off at the pricing but it turned out to be well worth it. The staff did mess up our drink order and double-charged us $25 for a cocktail but otherwise it was a night to remember! Definitely coming back"
Jonathan Wood
"Had Dinner here place was busy, food order came out quick. Ordered chicken parmy which the chiken was dry and cheese was bland, also ordered the Beef & pork ribs, Pork Ribs were standard. Beef ribs still had the cartilage attached and meat was very chewy, bread was yum and chiken wings were tasty.all up the food was pretty mediocre."
