Absolutely love this place. By far the best restaurant in town. The food is amazing and so are the staff.

The Linguine pasta with shrimp was so delicious. Service was outstanding! Our handsome and charming waiter Ronnie was so nice and friendly and kept checking in to see how we're doing! We were there for my mom's birthday and everyone enjoyed their dishes as well. Will be back to try more food!

We came on a Sunday for the prime rib. It was very busy but we're seated rather quickly. The poke stack was phenomenal, sushi roll was just ok as is, the lemon slice was so bitter we had to remove it to enjoy it. I'm not sure I'd get it again for the price. Prime ribs were pretty good. My boyfriend ordered the king cut but it was very fatty, which we know prime rib can be but my cut had very little fat. So for the price it was unexpected. Loaded Baked potatoe was good, My Cesar salad was good & dressed well. My bf salad had way too much ranch. Service was just ok, we ordered waters and wasnt refilled until we were done. Lightning is nice and it has a rustic decor.

Definitely one of our go to places to eat! Love the staff! Love the food! Love the atmosphere (although can be noisy at times). Have never had a bad meal or experience here.

Food & service is great! We can get more beef items here than at Pismo's. I wish your bar could be open fir just bar instead if eating.

Always packed because it’s a delicious sophisticated restaurant. Prices did go up though, but understandable
Just got off the phone with the host, Mellissa. Such a professional and well spoken host! I’m having flowers delivered to surprise my son’s girlfriend on her 21st birthday and without hesitation, she assisted me and walked me through how they will make that surprise happen. The professional, polite accommodation goes so far!! Investing in training your staff depict success of a business.

My wife and I used to visit this place quite often after Covid. The menu totally changed everything with a sell used to get soup or salad with your entrée. Now it's an up charge. Used to get loaded baked potato, and now every single item you had is a dollar more per item without the waitress letting you know that every single item was more. Pork chop they always came for was the best in town now I can cook a better one at home. Say the least I won't be back.

Aside from the long wait with the reservation i still am giving them a 5 star. The food was amazing. Our waiter Zachary helped us decide what meal to have for the evening and i was not disappointed. We are a party of 4 and he was attentive. The vibe was great. Seemed like a great place for couples old and new. I also saw some friend group which i'd say it is good for gatherings. It's moderately loud so i wouldn't call it very intimate but with a full bar it could get noisy. I had the Chicago style New York Steak and VinoCenzo Cocktail. I loved every bit of it! Overall coming back here again to try more food and drink.
Incredible steaks and sushi. Can't go wrong with any

We went on Friday night to celebrate our client's homebuying. We had a reservation, so the wait was less than 5 minutes. The restaurant was very busy. I prefer a quieter atmosphere so we can enjoy our conversation.I ordered the Big Eye Ahi Tuna Stack as my entrée. It was okay, not as flavorful/spicy as I prefer. The bread pudding was pretty good.I would try the stuffed bread next time.

Service was great. The salmon appetizer was delicious. Good seasoning. The ribeye was good, could use more flavoring (spices). The Brussel sprouts were good but could be crispier. It was very busy for a Monday night.
