Grilled Ribeye Steak
Steak was delish and perfectly cooked, Chef Dustin! Great flavor on the 'shrooms as well.

Rigatoni in Vodka Sauce
Good, but not as saucy as it used to be

Chicken Pesto Penne with Ricotta
It had no ricotta and way too much chicken. The chicken was dry and a weird texture given it was shredded/chopped up - felt like I was eating large bites of tuna. Noodles were good but too few.

Grilled Ribeye Steak
This was hands down one of the best prepared meals I ever had. The meat was tender and juicy. The flavors on point.

Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese
I was expecting pieces of butternut squash, not a squash sauce. it just didn't work for me.

Baked Fish & Hand-Cut Potato Wedges
the fish had a chalky taste to it, possibly something in the batter.
