I am beyond satisfied with my experience. I had been waiting for a year for the chance to have this experience. So when I randomly caught an open reservation I had to take it. The food was amazing, the beef short rib was amazingly tender. I was honestly drawn to the ambience and was blown away. The snow falling at the top of the hour was a great addition. We walked the venue and took lots of pictures as well.

Dry-aged Delmonico was the best steak I've ever had. We raised Angus beef in Indiana and in the 66 years I have walked this earth, there is no finer steak.
