The food, from the spicy rigatoni to the steak, was all incredible. I highly recommend trying the Brussels sprouts with Capt Crunch topping – yes, it's worth it! The drinks were perfect, and I appreciated that the music wasn't the usual boring elevator-style soundtrack. In my opinion, this restaurant definitely deserves a 10/10 rating! Just make sure to make a reservation as far in advance as possible – we had a tough time getting in on a Thursday afternoon.

Dining outdoors is recommended, although you may have to wait a bit for a table. The atmosphere is cozy but comfortable, and the service at every step - from check-in to the bar to the table - is top-notch. Our server, Mario, was exceptional. The staff is attentive and always on hand to explain menu items. The Brussel sprouts and crispy potatoes are a must-try, as well as the wedge salad and thick-cut bacon. While our steak was slightly undercooked, we had no complaints as the overall experience from start to finish was great.

The steak took a while to be served, but it was understandable considering how busy they were cooking the steaks over a wood grate fire. We also ordered some vegetables as a side dish and the spicy rigatoni was a must-try. Be sure to make a reservation for your next visit before leaving, as they do not have a phone number for reservations and do not take online bookings either.

The service, food and ambiance are top notch. We were very happy to be seated outside as it does seem to be very tight inside. My only negative feedback for the food would be that the bacon side dish is way too sweet.

Great food. Worth the price. Top notch. Great service. Love the rustic feel to the atmosphere. Porter house was a must. There are too many options for just one... read more Great food. Worth the price. Top notch. Great service. Love the rustic feel to the atmosphere. Porter house was a must. There are too many options for just one visit. Definitely met the hype.
