    I ordered the salmon steak rare and it was cooked to perfection, I can't recommend it enough. I've already left a tip about the always stellar service here but it's worth repeating again.

    They bring out delicious hummus and some kind of rice cracker while you look over your menu. Try the filet mignon sandwich! Incredible flavorJust make sure you reiterate your cooking temp preference.

    Will continue to come back here for the Lobster BLT every once in awhile but the food and service is mediocre. Definitely can tell everything here is not fresh despite what their menu says.

    Bartenders cool, servers cool, hostesses are awful. Didn't greet me, didn't thank me on the way out. When you are at the front desk, you are the face of the business. Need to be friendlier...
