Delish! The only place I eat prime rib. the pudding and creamed spinach and baked potato... mmmm! We even saw Scottie Pippen here once! This place is for special occasions though because it's very expensive and has gone all ala carte. more

The prime rib was outstandingly butter-knife tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes were homemade. The service was formal and friendly.

I remember nothing but the waitress that served us. And she reminded me of Princess Leia. Hence the good rating. more
