Great restaurant and we are loyal Ruth Chris Customers but they were not ready for the Valentine’s Day rush. Waited over 45 minutes for table. Drinks took another 45 minutes to get and steak was not cooked to right temperature.

It was our third time at Barka. Even though it's pricey, the service and food are excellent, and you get decent portions. I would definitely go again.
