2nd time in 5 weeks we went. Both time the food and service were amazing!!! Steak cooked to perfection. Shrimp and Crab cakes were delicious. Desserts were over the top!!

Food cooked to perfection, great service. I wish the fireplace was lit, snowy night every table full. Martini bar was also busy

Great, hearty food and warm service. Always a go-to for our family events. Will return!!

Fantastic. The quality of their meats is noticeable immediately when you take your first bite! We ordered the sirloin and the filet. They were good-sized cuts. It comes with a salad, bread, and choice of potatoes and a veggie. The service was excellent. There is a full bar! Make a reservation, the restaurant seems to always be busy.

All I can is WOW!! This place was recommended to us by our Airbnb host. After scoping Yelp, our decision was made! The food was absolutely amazing! As soon as we sat down we were given a small plate of different crackers with seasoned butter. The seasoned butter was very good. I ordered the scallop special. I was only expecting about 6-8 scallops and I was served 12! They were a decent size and full of flavor! My boyfriend ordered the prime rib and it was HUGE!! See picture! Other things that were ordered included Filet mignon and another cut it steak that I don't remember. Dinners include fresh bread, garden salad, veggie and choice of starch. Pro tip: if you chose a baked potato as your starch, put the seasoned butter on it! I went this route and it was amazing. I swapped the Caesar salad for the garden salad for a small upcharge and my boyfriend swapped us garden salad for broccoli cheddar soup. Both the salad and the soup were delicious! Everything was enjoyed by all. Our waitress was great. I would return here every single time I'm in the area. 5+ stars all the way!

The food, service and environment were fantastic, it appears as a little hole in the wall type of place from outside but inside is beautiful and the food is top notch!!!!!!!!!

I really enjoyed the experience. The food was hot and perfectly cooked. My Alfredo was not lumpy or induce Immediate heartburn like many other places I've tried. It was perfectly creamy. The scallions were a nice touch! The fried raviolis were a starter we tried from the special list. They were huge! And you got so many! The NY strip steak was huge! Lots of leftovers to go home with. The unique thing I saw here was the coke cheese spread and cracker plate you get when you get in. The restaurant has a log cabin, living room vibe. It's very warm and cozy. The service was perfect. Nikia was so nice and bubbly! I appreciated it even at the end of a shift I know it can be hard. Thank you for your attentiveness!! Highly recommend! The price is worth it!

Loved this place! Food was amazing - from the steak to the ahi tuna to the salad to the asparagus to the garlic bread to the baked potato to the mashed potato. I sampled everything from my group and there were no weak points coming from the kitchen. There is a charm to the place. I like the log cabin atmosphere, and the wait staff was top notch. I will definitely be back.
