The service was flawless. Elsie took care of our entire party and never missed a beat. With such a large group, I was honestly shocked that I never once saw an empty glass. She was attentive, warm, and on top of everything from start to finish.
The manager, Dani, was phenomenal. She continuously checked in, personally going table to table to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying their food. Her demeanor and energy truly radiated throughout the restaurant and made the night feel extra special. Ms. Lindsay, also a manager, came in to check on us as well, and she was exquisite. Her appearance and the way she carried herself were incredibly impressive, and she made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of at all times.
Now the food!!!!!!Outstanding!!!!!! I had the prime rib, medium rare, and it was perfection. My go-to dish there is the Chilean Miso Sea Bass, and both are absolutely to die for. The decor strikes that perfect balance of upscale yet family-friendly, making it feel elevated without being stuffy.
If you’re looking for an amazing dining experience great people, great food, and a great atmosphere this is the place to go. J Marks knocked it out of the park. Highly recommend!
I have been coming here for years to this location and the one in Fort Lauderdale. I personally choose this location for several reasons, but it starts with Dani. To my knowledge she is the manager seen wearing a lot of different hats on any given night. She may be greeting guests, helping the hostess, running food, helping behind the bar, giving a hand to a server, or even calming down an unsatisfied guest….this is how I first met her. Yes, not every dinner I have had here would be considered a home run. I have had issues with a server or two before, and the food has not always come out perfectly but that’s life. I can say that Dani has always heard me and my complaints, listened to my reasoning, and then acted on it in order to make things better. That is what really makes her different and why I have come back again and again over the years.
I’m reluctantly going to share the next bit of information, but mostly because I hope the secret doesn’t get out and she is able to be our server again. Katherine is absolutely top notch with everything that she does. She is very attentive and knowledgeable about the entire menu. If you happen to get her, you’ll end up wanting her to take care of you every single time you go back there
She alone can be the difference between an amazing experience and one that could be considered marginal.
Now, I am not going to say that everything on the menu is my favorite or something my palate enjoys. There are quite a few things that I have ordered and would never order again, but there are also things I keep going back for again and again. First and foremost would be the off menu special they have had lately, the 15oz wagyu steak shown in the pictures. It comes with a peppercorn sauce and any side you would like. I order mine medium rare and they even slice it to perfection. I love the peppercorn sauce, but the little berries themselves are not my particular favorite when biting into them, no problem because I just push them to the side. I order the wagyu steak at almost every single restaurant that puts it on the menu, and I would say this one rivals any other place I have ordered from, period. Now, the chopped salad happens to be one of my favorite salads hands down. I will say that I am not a salad kind of guy, but I have to order at least a chopped side salad, if not the whole one, every time I am here for lunch or dinner…just that good! It’s always consistent and one of the things I have never sent back to the kitchen. The chicken tenders are another big hit! They are not premade and frozen, coming off the Sysco or Cheney Brothers delivery truck. They actually make them in house and you can tell the difference. Someone in the family usually orders them almost every time we go. Also, my wife or son usually will order the salmon for dinner as well. They both really enjoy it and will often ask for it when we go. I don’t have a picture of it shown, but I would venture to say if you order it that you won’t be disappointed. Last but not least would be the cheeseburger sliders. Normally, I do not order them during dinner. I prefer to order them for the mid day happy hour or the late night happy hour. Normally, sliders are just the little brother that no one really wants to deal with but still tags along. Not here, they really take pride in the cheeseburger slider and I usually can’t help myself during those happy hours moments. It just happens to be extremely satisfying.
Look, I have read other reviews that are posted about this location. I cannot say that I have never had an issue with the service or food here, but what I can say is that Dani has always tried to make things right. She is the heart and soul of this place and Katherine is an absolute gem
There was not much ambiance for a Saturday night.
I especially enjoy the atmosphere at the bar. There’s a welcoming sense of community, with great conversations happening all around you. It feels lively, comfortable, and familiar, like a neighborhood gathering spot (“where everybody knows your name…”).
One of the highlights of the experience is Lisa, who is easily one of the friendliest and most knowledgeable bartenders. She knows the menus like the back of her hand, remembers the recurring customers and their “usuals,” and makes the best dirty martini in town.
10/10 — highly recommend!
Our waitress was delightful — she took our order promptly and kept checking in on us with a smile, making sure we were well taken care of throughout the evening.
We started with calamari, avocado egg rolls, and salads. Everything was so good that we found ourselves laughing at how quickly we finished it all! For our main courses, we ordered the Wagyu steak and lamb chops, both cooked perfectly medium rare, exactly as requested — absolutely delicious.
To top it all off, the staff surprised us by coming out singing “Happy Birthday” with a cake, and it was delicious! It made the celebration even more special.
We will definitely be back soon. Highly recommend!
The staff here helped pull off a wonderful surprise party for her!
Our server, Elsie was friendly, attentive, and very efficient! The manager, Dani, also offered exceptional care checking in multiple times to ensure we had a wonderful and memorable experience.
What a wonderful team!
We will absolutely return!
