We're usually not fans of franchise type restaurants, but this one has a great location (ask for a table in the courtyard area) and the steak is really amazing. The Filet Moutarde and Chateaubriand are two of our favs (lighting up that steak just never gets old...). If they don't have tables available, just ask for a seat at the bar (the bar snacks are great...).
