We wanted the fine dining experience of a New York steakhouse. We were shuffled upstairs, and the music was so loud that people were screaming at each other over tables. So we chose a corner table facing a wall—no problem. Period. But it took 10 minutes, and still, there was not even a glass of water, so we left.

Alen and the team did an amazing job tonight making sure we had the best experience for our first time here. The team works as a whole to provide top notch, over the top service during the entire course of the meal. They serve you the food and plate it right in front of you. There was no pressure to hurry and leave, they want you to take in the atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone whether local or traveling in town.

Made reservations for Thanksgiving!! They did not disappoint. This restaurant is beautiful inside and the food and service were outstanding. Exactly what I wanted for our family away from home on Thanksgiving. A big thanks to management and staff for our menu accommodations and for an excellent dining experience! Will be returning on our next trip to NYC to try the steak.(the Thanksgiving menu does have steak options on it but I ordered the turkey…. FYI)
