If you're looking for a special celebratory dinner, this is the place. Their specialty is steaks, however I like it for the great happy hour selections. Although I'm a vegetarian, I find delicious non-meat options are always on the menu.
Another great feature is their outdoor dining area.
It's a spendy joint (and well with the price), but the happy hour is very reasonable.
