Celebrate a birthday there for dinner. Everyone was happy with their meals. I would’ve given an extra star if they didn’t charge for the Shirley temples even with our hook-ups.

Had dinner here today, my first time trying this place. Reservations are suggested. We were greeted by Simon, who was both the hostess and sever. We were seated promptly and placed our dinner order and drinks. Fresh hot bread and butter served is before our meals. The entree portion sizes were perfect, well worth the money. It was a quiet little spot downtown. I loved the loved ambiance and will definitely go back there again.

Prime rib was one of the best we have had. The servers were attentive. Stars are based on what happened after dinner. A service charge (SVC CHG) of 19.8% was added to the bill with NO explanation. There was no indication on the menu, no signs/noticed posted. No disclosure of this when we made our reservation. Fine, maybe it goes towards the gratuity? We thought the SVC CHG went to gratuity – a bit less than we give normally for good service, but okay, we don’t mind being forced to pay gratuity. Apparently, that service charge does not go to the servers or wait staff as a gratuity! In my opinion, this is deceptive. Who does that service charge go to exactly?… We won’t be returning and will support other establishments that can account to why you are charged a service charge and who is getting the money. Extremely disappointed.

Was a enjoyable evening…. The service was very attentive and the food was good. Not a bad alternative to driving to the city and maybe having your car broken into.

Their main cuts of steak will be~$40-$50 depending on which you choose. Their steaks were nice and tender and the sides delicious as well.
