The portions were generous, but they were delicious and I was able to eat a lot. I thought the steak was really big, but I finished it all. The leftovers were packed in a container for me to take home. The staff were also very nice. The view was amazing, and I will definitely go again!
I feel like I've gone back in time a few decades.
I wonder if it's too hot to come here in the summer.
The time it takes to grill slowly over charcoal is a treat!
The taste is just as you would imagine, but the atmosphere is perfect 💯.
