    The steak sandwich is amazing. I'd recommend substituting the truffle fries for the regular fries. The Ahi tacos are the only thing I've tried here that I didn't like.

    The food is a little expensive. I had the chicken strips and they were good but a little expensive for my liking. It was trivia night and the service wasn’t very good.
