The best Filet Mignon and Ribeye Steaks (both cooked to rare but crusty perfection, and a tasty Gorgonzola) we have ever had in our life!!! Extremely delicious and great price (I think it was $42 for an 8 ounce Filet, and $43 for a 12 ounce Ribeye). Their scallop special over risotto was tasty too! Bread was yummy- Crusty, warm, and the drizzled garlic parsley butter was a nice touch. This place is a gem. It honestly lacked for nothing... Style, elegance, immaculately clean, and superb food make this place my new favorite. I live in Rochester, which means two hours to drive but worth it. Definitely in my top 5 restaurants. Owner was a gracious host, and his team outstanding with impeccable customer service start to finish. Will definitely be back!!!

Walking in the restaurant it was very clean. We were met by the waitress who gave us the choice of where we would like to sit. Then we were given water and asked about drinks gave us the specials. We ordered a cup of French onion soup and shrimp bisque. The sizes were like bowls. Then we ordered the haddock oreganata and the haddock and shrimp francaise. The oreganata was really well cooked with parm rossotto and spinach. Same with the franchise. The wine sauce was not over powering. For the prices the food is worth it. I don't normally give 5 stars but this restaurant definitely deserves it. Also the food did not need salt and pepper.

We will definitely return. This was by far one of the best meals we have had in Utica. Staff was amazing and the food was the best around. This was my first time trying this restaurant and it won't be the last. The Ribeye Gorgonzola Steak and the seafood franchise were the best.
