Our favorite dish is the USDA Prime New York Sirloin, dressed in a delectable black peppercorn and mushroom sauce served with a side of sautéed vegetables and root vegetable purée mashed potatoes.
The family owned restaurant celebrated their 20th anniversary this year and launched their own chimichurri line based on their famous recipe.
