    Really excellent food. We had the 16oz ribeye steak and the Chilean Sea Bass. Both were full of amazing flavors and did not disappoint! I've just returned from Las Vegas where I ate at the Golden Steer and Peter Lugers steakhouses...this was right up there with them! Really great food if you don't mind the price. It's not cheap.

    The service was GREAT! The food was GREAT! It was really cold up there though so I would recommend some space heaters or something on the really cold winter nights. Overall, it was a really good experience!

    My husband loved the pan seared with coconut sauce and zucchini. We both would have liked a garden salad option, and another vegetarian main course, like the pasta option but without the protein or a roasted winter vegetable. Nice atmosphere, sound level was perfect t for dinning and conversation. Nice staff.
