REALLY DELICIOUS FOOD EXCELLENT SERVICE Overall my wife and I along with two of our grownup children had an amazing time here for dinner APR 2025. But I’ll just start on a bad note. We did have a reservation and arrived 5 minutes early. We were told to wait - and ended up waiting 25 minutes. And was seated 20 minutes after our reservation. That was a bit disappointing - and also caused us to be late for the rodeo. Well anyway. It did not ruin our experience here. The staff (Reception area) is generally a bit reserved - but professional. Our waitress was Dulce - just an amazing person. She really helped make this experience great. She is kind, polite, has a great humour, is attentive, respectful and professional. Yes. She really amazed us. I love the style and decor of 97West. Just a really great vibe overall. The menu is not too big, which I believe is a good thing. Better have a smaller menu and excel at it than have a lot of choices and be mediocre. And 97West excel at their food. They do have quite a nice selection of beverages. But it would be nice with a greater selection of wines from Texas. Could include Reddy Vineyard or Becker Vineyard. The food tasted amazingly good. For starters we had: BLT deviled eggs Shishito pepper crab dip Charcuterie board The eggs were ok - needed a little more spice - but not bad at all. The charcuterie board was big enough for 2-3 persons as a starter. For main courses we had: Bison tenderloin Broken Arrow Ranch Antelope 2 x Redfish All main courses were absolutely amazing. Definitely a place to dine if visiting the The Stockyards. Make sure to have a reservation :-)

My husband and I ate at the 97 west and Josh was our sever. Wow what a wonderful experience. We sat outside on the patio at 6:30 in May and it was not terrible at all. Our service was great but talk about the signature drinks wow!! I had the bluebonnet cocktail ( show stopper ) wow amazing. My husband had a beer as well! But let’s get to the food! We both scored our meals at a 10 and if the rating could go higher we would! We had the 7 oz filet with skillet potatoes and I had the chicken fried New York strip with mash potatoes, Mac and cheese and gravy! This over is a place you don’t want to miss out on! Top tier experience!

Great texas southern themed restaurant. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was equally wonderful. The chicken and waffles with white sausage gravy were amazing. Would recommend visiting to anyone that enjoys southern breakfast.

The food here is perfect. I had the bison tenderloin. It's the best steak I've ever had. I sampled the mac and cheese. It was amazing. I've also had the brussel sprouts. They were amazing. Our group had a few other appetizers I forgot the name of but they were all amazing.

This meal blew my mind! Starting with the cocktails, the apps, and the entree not one single thing disappointed! Our server was well versed on the menu and made fantastic recommendations that everyone tried and loved! The atmosphere is great, I caught myself looking around at all the different details in the decorations. 10/10 recommend!

Our waitress Haley went above and beyond helping celebrate our anniversary after an amazing steak dinner! She had champagne and macarons sent to our room. Only the kind of service you would expect from the Drover! Food is exceptional and breakfast is especially good. Portions are large and service is fantastic! If you're thinking of celebrating, they do a small chocolate cake with a decorated plate free of charge. Can't wait to come back! With food this good, you barely need to leave the hotel!

First time coming to this restaurant and It was everything I expected. My server Mayra was amazing. She was attentive, sweet, fast and even gave us a dessert for my anniversary. Place has so many places we can take beautiful pictures. Overall 10/10

We stayed at the hotel and went to brunch at 97 west on Sunday. We thought it was fantastic! We got the big breakfast and was astounded by the amount of food. Everything was delicious, except maybe the meatballs which were a bit dry/over flavored. Otherwise we loved everything else. Make sure you get the whiskey syrup! Also loved the ambiance and the service was fantastic

Went here for Sunday brunch during the holiday season, and the place was beautifully decorated...had a cozy, Christmassy vibe. Our server was super sweet and gave some great recommendations. We tried the croissant chicken salad, which was surprisingly good. The bacon added a nice touch to the salad, but the croissant itself was a letdown. It was dry, didn't feel fresh, and missing that flaky, buttery texture you'd expect. Definitely needs improvement. Next up was the lobster omelette, and that was spot-on, no complaints there. Both dishes came with roasted potatoes on the side, and those were amazing! They said they were local, and I devoured every bite. To finish, I got the cucumber mint mojito, which was light, refreshing, and a perfect ending. Overall, I'd visit again, maybe for dinner next time, but they seriously need to step up their croissant game. Also, it's conveniently located next to the Stockyard, so valet parking makes it easy to explore the area before or after your meal.

Yee-haw, throw your best cowboy swag on and giddy up to 97 West for their ambiance. It's vibrant, beautiful and will make you feel like an electric cowboy! My best rec for getting the most out of this experience would be to go for a drink and dessert... their desserts hit the table like a calf run. Our table was like bunch of 4H kids trying to wrestle down a bite of our favorite one: Pecan Pie, Bread Pudding and Chocolate Mousse. The prize calf was definitely the Bread Pudding! It reminded us all of a fancy, delectable Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I'm still dreaming about going back to have round two of it. :D As far as drinks, I didn't get to try anything with alcohol but our sweet waitress had the bartender me a mocktail. It was quite refreshing! The staff seems to really care for your party. You can tell they want you to have the best time. Shout out to our server, Haley! She was an absolute pro with our large party. Going back? I don't think I'll go back for a full dinner, but dessert. LET'S RIDE!

Exceptional brunch! I've been here a couple times and the latest visit was for brunch. You have to get sweet and spicy bacon... it comes with jalapeño cornbread that is soaking up the bacon juices (see pic). It was a table favorite. I had the chicken and waffles for my entree. It comes with a twist, herb waffle with fried chicken and gravy. The pickled okra slaw is chef's kiss. You can add the maple syrup to it as well. We had mimosas with our brunch. The service is always top notch and it's a fun restaurant atmosphere. The bar has tv's for Saturday football and it's always busy so I recommend reservations.

I sat at the bar and was taken care of the best bartender - Maddie. She was so friendly and helpful when deciding what to order. The service was top tier. The cocktails she made were delicious. You can tell everyone else at the bar was also just as impressed by her. She made me the BEST margarita I have EVER had. I had the raspberry jalapeño margarita with a salted rim. It was much larger than I expected (which is great). It had a fresh strawberry flavor with the taste of the jalapeños with no heat. My friend and I split the grilled chicken sandwich with fries. To our surprise, the kitchen split the food for us on 2 plates, which was so kind. The food was soooooo good. The chicken was seasoned really well and the fries were fresh and crispy.

Aryelle S.

Yelp
Agreed with some of the comments that state this place is just for the hype. Food gets 3 stars but service was 5/5! Our server Evan was fantastic. We ordered the hot chicken and biscuits which had no flavor so you definitely had to use the honey they provided. The avocado toast did have good flavor due to all the seasonings. The brunch burger was just okay and the red potatoes needed a seasoning. Very bland. The mahi tacos were good but not the best.

One of my favorite restaurants in all of Fort Worth! Amazing menu with seasonal offerings. Fantastic craft cocktails and wonderful service. The ambience is also unrivaled.

We went here to celebrate our daughter's 8th bday. The food is not good, the restaurant and location is beautiful!!! The food was not good at all, the jalapeño cornbread is dry. The wagyu steak was bland & the chicken and waffles were hard. I would not in a million years go back. Service was acceptable.

Upscale Western themed restaurant in The Drover Hotel in Ft Worth, TX. Ambiance is straight out of Yellowstone. Like rich rancher fancy instead of country chic. Place was full on Friday night but seated quickly with reservation. Wife got chicken fried NY Strip and I got carpet bagger steak. This was a creative combo of filet and fried oysters in a spicy red sauce. Food was very flavorful and cooked perfectly. Only flaw was both our sides were at best lukewarm and my oysters were not hot. Good flavor just maybe not the best timing on plating. Would recommend if you wanted to experience big ranch decor and a unique menu.

I always recommend the 97W burger here! It's SOOOOO GOOD! I've had the steak from here as well just to try something different definitely went back to the burger lol. I love the raspberry jalapeño margarita as well.

This place is impressive! The moment you walk up to the beautiful garden area, you realize this will be a good experience. Once you're inside your eyes are so happy they bounce around the room taking in every piece of decor! It's elegant. It's modern. It's a little bit of country. Ok. Let me get to the food! The food is great. The presentation is beautiful! Very large portions but that's to be expected in Texas! Delicious drinks served in beautiful glassware! I can't say enough about this place! Go!!!

Dined twice at this establishment during our New Year stay at Hotel Drover. We had dinner the day we arrived and breakfast the next morning, I was pleasantly surprised at how good everything was! This place is gorgeous and family friendly. They hand coloring paper and crayons right after we get seated. Let's start with the first meal of our Fort Worth trip, DINNER. We arrived hungry and didn't expect large portions because...it's 97 WEST in Hotel Drover. I was wrong, we ordered way too much and had to bring our food back to the room. We ordered meat and cheese (charcuterie) and Cobb salad to start. The meat and cheese board was out of this world amazing and I will come back just for this. The bread looks burnt but it's smoked without the burnt taste. This appetizer worked wonders for our family with kids as they like to try out different combinations. The Cobb salad was fresh and flavorful, I really like the fresh avocado cubes, tender chicken pieces, and tortilla strips. They blend together nicely and make the salad even more fulfilling. Then there's wild mushroom pasta that my kids didn't care for but was good, we packed 80% to go. Next, the main show full stack ribs were good but it was spicy... thankfully it came with a small Mac and cheese side that the kids like. We packed 50% (half rack) of this to go as well. And of course as the mom I'm always checking to see if kids eat veggies during the trip so we ordered brussel sprouts too, this was so good with the bacon added but we were too full, so we packed up 50% of this back too. The next morning, we went back for Breakfast and we were more rational lol I ordered the Tacos and my husband ordered the pork omelette. Us grownup ordered coffee too because we know what's waiting for us throughout the day. The experience was once again perfect. We had Nancy helped us the first night and she was so lovely, always checking and giving us updates. Daniel was our life saver the next morning, the prompt coffee provider, kid's tamtrum distractor, letting us get in and out quickly to start the day. Thank you all so much for the wonderful experience. We're checking out in a few hours and might even go back again before leaving!

My girlfriend whose daughter goes to TCU recommended this restaurant to me...and I'm so glad she did! This is the restaurant in the Drover hotel Marriott Autograph Collection. Which is also lovely. Tastefully "cowboy" themed since it's in Fort Worth right by The Stockyards. FYI- the only charging station in Fort Worth is here. The valet drove our electric rental car to get charged while we spent time at the lobby bar and the restaurant. Very convenient and the staff was very accommodating. Now to the the restaurant! All the food we ordered was 4 or 4.5/5 BLT DEVILED EGGS smoked pork belly burnt ends, bacon jam, baby heirloom tomato, micro greens FARM STAND SALAD little gem lettuce, spinach, frisée, candied pecans, tomatoes, red onions w/ roasted tomato vinaigrette LITTLE GEM WEDGE chives, crispy pork belly, Texas blue cheese, red tomatoes 140Z BONELESS RIBEYE Chef's favorite cut of meat 160Z BONE-IN RIBEYE 60 day prime dry-aged BROKEN ARROW RANCH ANTELOPE Texas herb goat cheese grits, tasso ham elderberry, Texas balsamic vinegar marmalade We also got a complimentary birthday dessert (which was a sweet chocolate cake) and the pecan pie with vanilla ice cream and bourbon glaze (probably my fave dish of the night). Cavernous interior with a huge bar and a huge outdoor patio. Casual. I would definitely come back to this restaurant. I might even stay at the hotel. Such a warm, welcoming place.

Prefacing with: my original review was taken off Open Table by the establishment and will probably continue to be taken off. Not pleased with that. 9/3 The staff took a long time to come to the table before even acknowledging my husband and I on a SLOW Tuesday at 5:30pm. Waiters went by us and didn't say anything for a while. The food was not worth the price/value. I would not recommend to anyone to go here unless you want "bar-like" food and spend $200. Service isn't at the adequate of value/price.

Great place within Hotel Drover! The stockyards is THE place to be in Fort Worth these days, and this place will put you in the middle of the action. They take reservations, and accommodate large groups. We came for a bachelorette and it was perfect. We had some wonderful appetizers, and the waiter even brought us one on the house to try- the fried green tomatoes! They were my favorite of the appetizers- you have yo try them! For dinner, I split the blueberry salad and the potatoes with a friend, and it was just enough food. Overall- a wonderful meal! Really enjoyed it.

Service with Wilson and Dolce was on point! Highly recommend the tostadas. Chicken fried steak was good, could cut it with a fork. The salmon was cooked to my temperature requested and delicious.

Wow, 5 experience with the amazing Rylee! Food was delicious, drinks were amazing and fresh, view was peaceful and grounds/design are so funky and eclectic. We will be back, thank you for a wonderful experience. *we had the filet, the chicken fried steak and the mushroom pasta- all fabulous, came out hot and seasoned to perfection.

97 West Kitchen located in the Drover resort delivered exceptional service, the manager came out and greeted me at the bar. Evan from the night prior remember my name and offered a warm morning welcoming, as soon as I sat down, and went above and belong to deliver exceptional service. I highly recommend 97 West Kitchen.

This place is the real deal. Service was insanely awesome. The restaurant itself is unbelievably amazing. Very well decorated and smiles all across the room. Now let's get to the most important part...The food. Insanely delicious bacon with jalapeño cornbread then followed up with the ranch hand breakfast holy wow! Overall 10/10 recommend to even your enemies in life.

Nice brunch place with fun decor and really friendly staff. Ashton's recommendations were spot on, and we had a great meal with generous portion sizes. I had the crab avocado toast *chef's kiss*

I dined in for a girls brunch a couple of months ago. We had a great experience with service and the drinks kept coming I was stuck on where to go for dinner for my son birthday. We like capital grill for a good steak. But, I remembered my first experience so I thought I'd give it a try last minute. I called and made a reservation the day of the dinner (party of 9). Let me just say with that alone I was very thankful for the accommodations on time and they gave us a private room. Which was a major plus with kids. The dinner was great. I had a Paloma again as a drink option. My kids raved about the Mac n cheese. Another great experience in the books for this restaurant. My husband is already asking for us to have brunch on the patio so he can try that menu. Overall it was great!

We had a large birthday party at 15 people we sat outside on the patio, which was awesome. We only had one server and she was overwhelmed with all the other tables she had to wait on. I ordered the fillet medium rare, which it was done just as I had ordered very tender you could cut it with the butter knife . Then finally someone arrived with our steak knife. The potatoes were terrible. They were overcooked and black. Our server never came back to check to make sure everything was the way we wanted. Then we paid out she had the bill totally messed up and took forever to get it straight. I have eaten there several times and this was the worst .

This was my first time here, my server was amazing!! She was very attentive & very knowledgeable! The food was delicious! My friends and I really enjoyed it! It was busy but we had a reservation made before hand (Birthday) but it seems like they accommodate quickly! I will be back to try their dinner out!

Yelp
Honestly, this place is more for the hype. Our service was what gave this place the stars. We reserved for about 12 people and they were accommodating. I ordered the Cobb salad and it was decent. I think what takes away the stars was the price, it's a bit pricey but understandable considering where it's located. What boggled my mind was my ticket was $16 however they automatically add a 20% gratitude tip due to the large party. No problem! But they added $11 gratitude on my $16 bill. How was that 20%? What they did was take 20% on the ENTIRE bill and split it amongst everyone. That's not how it works. A bill disappointing. However, I do appreciate the free chocolate slices our server was so kind to give, that was probably the most yummy part,

Classy western atmosphere inside the Hotel Drover. Had a pleasant breakfast with family.

I went here for a friends birthday dinner one Saturday night. They had a reservation and we still had to wait a little bit before we were seated. The place is super loud and the chairs were too narrow for me to sit in comfortably. Luckily one of the girls switched with me in the booth part. We shared a few different appetizers, BLT Deviled Eggs $14.00 for 6, Shishito Pepper Crab Dip $19.00 and the El Classico $15.00 which is basically queso, guac and salsa. The deviled eggs were okay, nothing special and definitely not worth the price. The crab dip was pretty good but again, the price for what you are getting is off. I thought both the queso a guac tasted good but also on the pricier side for what you were getting. For my entrée, I got the 18oz Bone-In Ribeye 30 day dry-aged $60.00 cooked medium rare. This was pretty good and cooked correctly. Our table had multiple other issues with steak temps though.2 were extremely over and 2 were extremely under, like rare still. They fixed these but 1 of the remakes was still wrong and they did give her a to go order with the right temp steak but she basically did not eat cause everyone was done by the time she finally got her last fixed order. I did get to try their ribs from someone else and was glad I didn't get those as they were dry and kind of tough instead of tender. They gave us a few desserts to make up for the issues which was nice. The service was pretty good through out, never had an empty water but the cocktail drinks were quite slow to come out. I am assuming the bar was having a hard time keeping up. Overall it was not bad but definitely not good for the price.

This place is phenomenal! I will be back for dinner soon! The food was very southern Texas taste is amazing! Service is impecable! Ambiance was very relaxed and quiet since we went during the week for brunch! Loved the decor here!

Located inside The Drover Hotel. The environment all over the property is 5* and i swear they have people just walking around to say "howdy"!! Extensive menu, they are covering all the bases. We started with a cocktail in the beautiful lobby and then moved to the restaurant. We were ably served by Jason. We ordered the chicken fried steak (don't tell my physician) and a half rack ribs. My Chicago bred wife said the ribs were acceptable. That means good. My dish was tasty but the thin ribeye was a bit stringy. All good. A comped birthday desert finished off a great meal. Pricing is upscale for sure.

It is criminal for a restaurant to be so MMMMMMMMM good. The chicken fried steak is simply my mount Everest. Go immediately cancel all your plans. Top recs: smoky marg- fire Fingerling potatoes: huge portion 7/10 cobb salad: fantastic mushroom pasta: average burger: 9/10, hits Service: unbeatable

Marna K.

Yelp
I have mixed feelings about my dinner here- my cocktail was delicious to start. I had the spicy margarita and it was great- definitely try it. The crab dip appetizer was sizable and pretty good. The cauliflower steak was disappointing. It was raw and the sauce was quite spicy. Good thing I got a salad too and had something more to eat. The space is large and decorated nicely but a bit loud for date night.

Sheena W.

Yelp
The restaurant was really nice. The decor was very western, but not overly so. It's still very welcoming to everyone. I had a margarita on the rocks, and I was very happy. It was very good. For my appetizer, I had the chilled shrimp tostadas. I highly recommend them. There were three nice sized tostadas in the order with quite a bit of shrimp on each crispy tortilla. I got the chicken fried chicken for my entree, and all I can say is get it!!!! The portion was so large. Large enough to have some to take home. The smoked sausage gravy was my favorite. In reference to the service, it was very good. Our waiter, Jackson, was extremely attentive and able to answer all of our questions about the menu. For my next visit, I'll most definitely request to be seated in his section, if he's available.

Ambiance is very western. The location is in the heart of the stockyards-- perfect if you're visiting Ft. Worth. The Hotel 97 West is located in is the Dover Hotel and is absolutely amazing. The details were thought out very well. The food was what you'd expect to find at a steakhouse, but with a western twist. Service was speedy, but we weren't rushed. It's dark inside but the bar is great and outdoors you have fountains and a view of the trinity river.

We want to return to 97 W. until we have tried everything on the menu! Our meal was off the chart. Amazing. Starting with the chicken fried Texas oysters with mango pico we were hooked. We decided to share entrées, which were the 7 ounce fillet topped with Texas crab meat, and Texas hot sauce hollandaise! Also had the wild mushroom Pappardelle pasta! Our server, Reagan was darling and very helpful. I live an hour away, however and pretty sure I will be visiting 97 W. often.

Our company held our 25th anniversary dinner here and it was lovely. Since we were a large group we had to order off of a fixed menu, but everything was wonderful. The fried green tomatoes were some of the best I have had. The ceviche was very good, but had a little too much pickled red onion on top. The guacamole though was wow. The cesar salad was lovely. Of the three available entrees, I ordered the salmon. Salmon can be very boring, but this was so tasty, I want to know what's in that rub! Dessert was carrot cake which isn't my favorite, but I had a bite and it was probably the best I've had. I ended up bringing it back to my son, and he demolished it. I definitely plan on going back and trying the antelope. It's one of the few meats I have yet to try. Also big shout out to our server, Hailey. She is as awesome as other reviews claim. There were a few hiccups due to newly trained food runners, but she was very attentive and quick to fix their missteps. Usually with a group this large they have 2 servers attending, but she did it all herself (besides the runners) and no one was left wanting or waiting. I would honestly rate the overall experience a 4.5/5 but am rounding up because rounding down isn't deserved.

My new favorite restaurant!!! The service was outstanding, food was amazing and the price was extremely reasonable. Restaurant is at the historical Dover Hotel at the Fort Worth Stockyards. HIGE shout out to our server, Laurel - very attentive and she made our evening spectacular.

Great food good service. Definitely recommend. Ambiance was perfect. Lots of food so that means leftovers! Lots of different seating options but I recommend the back so your not really in the hotel lobby.

As a regular to boutique hotels/restaurants and business class cabins, I confirm that Kristi's service is greatly above industry standards - She's top notch. Food was great too. Just watch out for portion sizes. Everything is bigger in Texas.

Our experience at 97 West was a 10/10 for food, service, ambiance, all of the above! We ate here on our recent trip to Fort Worth, my friends got engaged before our reservation & upon booking I requested that there be champagne and four glasses at our table upon our arrival in celebration for the engagement that I knew was going to take place that day and they had just that!! It was perfect! AND they gave my friends a complimentary dessert for congratulations! (which tasted AH-mazing to say the least) Thank you so much 97 West for accommodating!! Y'all went above and beyond and we will definitely be back in the future!

Chelsea O.

Yelp
All of the food had great flavor. They don't have a ton of options, but for our big group everyone was able to find something they wanted. The ambiance is really upscale and cute for the area. Service was pretty slow, especially considering they didn't have a lot of guests on a Sunday for brunch.

Uyen V.

Yelp
Reserve a spot online, because they are really busy during weekends. This has got to be my favorite restaurant in Fort Worth! My friends & I have been here several times, and each time has been great. I get the boneless rib eye and it comes on a bed of potatoes, which is the perfect side dish for my steak. We also get the shishito pepper crab dip for the appetizer and a side of Brussels sprouts to share with the table. (The best Brussels sprouts ever!) Their sides are family sizes so you can just order 1 for the entire table! Their drinks are good too! It's always been busy when I come, but it's never chaotic so you can enjoy a nice dinner at the stockyards!

Bianca G.

Yelp
The waiter was amazing and food was good. What completely ruined the whole experience were the hostesses especially Janeth asked if we were hotel guest we politely responded with we are not she looked at her friend then told us there wouldn't be a table till after 9 pm it was 6:15 pm ! We said ok we will wait then at 6:30 got a text the table was ready. They stated they had a cancellation. Iol needless to say due to that profiling I will never return .

I had very high hopes for 97 West - especially since I'm new to DFW and have heard MANY great things about this restaurant. I actually visited for a date, and expected a much nicer experience. This was a Tuesday, the restaurant was incredibly busy (very happy to see), and the wait wasn't awful. We grabbed a drink at a nearby bar and went back to 97 West for dinner. The server was very attentive and knowledgeable, however service was slow from the kitchen (expected since this was a busy, Tuesday night). The ceviche was bland (tasted more lime than seafood). The chicken was INCREDIBLY salty on the outside and the meat was completely flavorless. The Salmon was nicely accompanied; however, the meat was almost rubbery. Again, I had VERY high hopes, but I'm not completely burned. I know places have "off" nights, but my first impression was not great.

Great environment. Went here for my birthday and the servers were all great. They had great suggestions for drinks and food. Really enjoyed the chicken fried steak. The mashed potatoes were to die for. Well definitely come back again.

Stunning decor and atmosphere. Comfortable but luxurious. Attention to details is noticed. Food was fantastic! Service deserves its own review...outstanding! The cocktails are super creative and avant- garde. Really an enjoyable experience all around.

Food was mediocre. Service was mediocre. Not sure what the hype about this place is. We were on time for our reservation and still had to wait 15 minutes. Made our way to the lobby bar where the wait line was 15 people long and the male bartender acted like we were there to make his life miserable. Caitlyn the waitress was friendly but service was slow. We had to get another waitress to bring us a bottle of wine we'd requested 30 minutes earlier. Best part of dinner was the appetizers. Filet was super salty. We ordered the roasted garlic demi mushrooms. They brought the sauce, forgot the mushrooms and then brought them later. Ambiance was loud and bustling.

Always an incredible experience whether breakfast lunch or dinner, the food is always amazing and the service is top notch. If the weather is nice, enjoying the outdoor seating is the cherry on top. This time we got the avocado toast (with an egg) and the Ranch hand breakfast. 10/10

Rafaela is an absolute QUEEN! Great service, read our minds (and made great recommendations for the table), and was especially patient and helpful towards my disabled mother. Thank you, Rafaela!

The steak (medium) was exquisite. Great flavor, soft, and juicy. Comes with potatoes and fried oysters. The oysters and sauce are amazing also. Drinks are great. Everything was great!! Will definitely comeback!!
