"Having a home nearly next door to another Greek inspired steakhouse in the area for about a year and a half now, my wife and I have driven by this place countless times saying someday . I visited their website and their Thursday night date special was where my mind was at, but because we 're rarely around on Thursdays, it would never happen. We bit the bullet this past Saturday and now I can hardly wait to go back. Let me start with the decor. The outside of the building was completely unassuming. As we entered the building, it was almost as though the angels were singing. The carpet was plush, the walls darker in color, the rooms dimly lit, but no so much that you couldn 't read your menu. The overall feel of the place was ritzy. Service at first was a little clunky as we were told about the specials while standing up with our hostess blocking access to one side to our seating. The service improved beyond this first experience. We ordered a drink and water to start. The wine pours were reasonable. Our waitress came around with our drinks and told us about Saganaki. Not knowing much about it really, we were pleased when it came out and it was really entertaining, and delicious too, albeit filling. My wife had the French onion soup, and bacon wrapped scallops and I had the wild rice soup and the early bird prime rib done medium with garlic mashed potatoes. The French onion soup was delicious, and so was the wild rice soup. We both felt that if we had eaten it all, we might not be hungry by the time our entrees arrived. Did I mention there was bread too? We didn 't partake. The prime rib and garlic mashed potatoes weren 't plated together, which was ok. My prime rib was done beautifully. I 'm used to seeing a small dish with au jus at other places that serve prime rib, but this wasn 't included here. There was ample juice on the plate itself, which is likely why the mashed potatoes weren 't plated together. First bite was amazing. Delicious, warm, tender and flavorful too. I really don 't think I could have ordered a better option. The garlic mashed potatoes were tasty, but the texture was a bit more runny and less fluffy. The bacon wrapped scallops were plated well visually appetizing. And I 'm pretty sure anything wrapped with bacon makes it better, right? The size of the scallops did not disappoint either. They were cooked perfectly, bacon was crisp enough and the scallops weren 't overcooked. They tasted really good too. There was a bit of spiciness to them. It wasn 't overly pronounced, but just enough to let you know it 's there. The bill was reasonable too. I 've paid much more for lots less. Suffice it to say we couldn 't finish our meals. We took our leftovers home. We left content and pleased with our dining choice. We will definitely be returning again. This time I don 't think we 'll wait for a year and a half.

"I’m really disappointed to give this restaurant a two-star review. The food is absolutely fantastic, as it has always been. I brought my boyfriend and family along to introduce him to the renowned steakhouse from my hometown. While the food remains exceptional, the service we encountered was among the worst I’ve ever experienced. Our server hardly checked in on us and only visited our table twice during our entire meal. Our drinks were left empty, and dirty plates piled up without being cleared away. The second time I was actually getting up to seek help, our server finally returned. I ended up tipping less than 20%, which is rare for me. As someone who works in the food service industry, I understand how challenging the job can be, but this level of service was simply unacceptable."

"**Food:** 5/5 **Service:** 5/5 **Atmosphere:** 5/5 **Price per person:** $10–20 I highly recommend the General Tso's Chicken, Almond Chicken, and Fried Rice. The Mongolian Beef and Sesame Chicken are also must-tries, and their sauces are simply delicious. You won't regret ordering the Double Pan Fried Noodles, Beef and Egg Foo Young, Crispy Calamari, or Red Wonton Soup. If you enjoy sushi, you should definitely try the Sashimi and Philadelphia Roll—they're fantastic! The menu includes great options like Cantonese Spare Ribs, Egg Drop Soup, and Chicken Lo Mein, among others. Be sure to sample the Jasmine Tea, Hot and Sour Soup, and Wonton Soup as well. Overall, it’s an excellent place to enjoy a meal!"
