    We dined at The Ledger again to celebrate my husband’s 60th and the experience far exceeded expectations. From the moment we walked in, the staff made our party feel welcome and special. The cocktails were superb and the food was outstanding!!! The steaks were cooked to perfection and the table side steak carving was an amazing touch. We also tried the tuna tartare which tasted so fresh and flavorful. The carrot cake with the cinnamon smoke was also the best we have tasted. I would highly recommend The Ledger. It never disappoints!
