I was on a mission today, so I just went in to pick up some of the seasonal sweet potato oatmeal cookies. They were definitely worth the drive. Taste fresh, don't have that chemical taste that some desserts have when they're loaded with preservatives. Next time I'm ordering an entrée and staying a bit longer 😉
We did our anniversary dinner here tonight. was the best experience by far. food was perfect. steak melted in your mouth with every bite. will come back again. 5 stars. service and all was amazing..
12/9/25 - My husband had been here once with a friend and loved it. So we decided to come for our anniversary dinner. We made a reservation in advance which I would recommend. Everything was great. The service, food, and atmosphere. We ordered the rockefeller oysters They were the best I've ever had. They charred the lemon which made such a difference with the flavors. I gobbled those down in like 2 mins. I also tried the she crab soup. It was good but again the oysters were my favorite. As my entree I got the maple salmon. The Salmon was flavored well and I got another charred lemon, that made the meals flavors enhanced. My husband got a steak dish with the Mac and cheese and an additional side of home fries. He really liked his dish. I thought the Mac and cheese has a little chalky texture to it but it was still good. The home fries had a great crunch on the outside. Everything was so good. We also tried specialty drinks off the seasonal menu. They still had the fall drinks and was told they would switch over to the winter menu soon. Last thing we got was the dessert which was my least favorite. We got the banana pudding. The first bite was great but once I got to the middle and bottom it tasted off. The bananas kind of had a spirit taste to them (if that makes sense) and the wafflers were so dry on the bottom. The bottom of the cup slowed it was made on 12/4. But everything was still amazing. The even wrote happy anniversary on the dessert plate. Highly recommend.
The Butcher's son needs to consult with his mom to learn how to cook because the food was AWFUL. To not have filet at a steakhouse is a crime. I got the tenderloin Oscar style and was appalled by the "crabmeat." It was nothing but watery mush and it smelled off. There was hardly any bearnaise sauce! The roasted potatoes and brocollini had absolutely no flavor. Husband got the ribeye with mac and cheese, velvetta shells and cheese quality. We left 90% of our food on the plate. The steaks were edible so we took them home to season and eat later. Definitely will never return. Service was great though,and the calamari was ok.
My partner and I came by for dinner and were impressed with the friendliness of our server and the food. Good spot for special occasions. They also seem to have great weekday specials that we’ll definitely come back for. We ordered the ribeye, crab soup, stuffed mushrooms and seafood Mac and cheese.
