It was my first and last time here!!! It was honestly the worst dining experience ever. I normally don't write reviews but I had to make an exception. I ordered the surf and turf, the steak came out not cooked the way I asked, and the lobster was super tough and hard to chew. The service was actually good, but the food just didn’t deliver. Not planning on going back, I ignored the red flag of seeing only 3 tables seated on a Saturday night, - JR JR
