The atmosphere was dim and rustic, yet elegant. I could tell that I was in for a treat. How right I was!\n\nThe free bread was amazing. It's bread! Who would get excited about that? I am shocked that bread could be this good. It really makes me wonder what it was I have been eating with my PB and Js all these years.\nFor the entree, I had the 9oz filet and the Parmesan mashed potatoes. From the moment the filet hit my tongue, the flavor explosion that hit my mouth was intense. Hands down, the best steak I have ever eaten - even better than those in the Midwest. It was cooked perfectly, had an amazing crust, and simply melted in my mouth.\n\nI had the brownie with the salted caramel sauce. While this was good, I feel the salted caramel could have been a little more flavorful.\n\nI am surprised that I haven't gone there sooner. This is definitely my new \"go-to\" restaurant for all special occasions."^^ .
