“Went on a Friday night and it was definitely busy, a little over an hour wait. Once seated, service was prompt and friendly! The food was delicious, the beef was so good, like, really really good. Only complaint wasn't due to the workers, there was a loud party of rowdy (drunk) people near us and they were very disruptive. Once they left, ambience was great.”
