The food was delicious and despite being crowded, the service was very attentive. The restaurant was very noisy which was compounded by the loud music. I was annoyed that despite having a long standing reservation, we were made to wait at least 15 minutes past our reservation time for our table.

Our overall experience was just okay. The server could’ve been more friendly. We don’t believe she smiled once. The other staff was very nice and helpful. They even sung Happy Birthday to me as the server just stood there stoically. We decided to tip generously even though we did not feel the server deserved what we gave. We always tip regardless. The food was not what we anticipated. The steaks were chargrilled as stated but it was a little too charred. Majority asked for medium and it was either medium well or well done instead. I personally could not enjoy my steak due to tasted as if I licked the grill. The ambience was very nice as expected.

This was our second time dining here and unfortunately it was not as good as the first. The server didn’t seem comfortable using the hand held device to take our order. Our first courses arrived before the cocktails. While clearing our appetizers we asked to have our server come back so we could order wine. By the time they appeared at our table, the main course was already being brought out. We did get our wine rather quickly to their credit. It seems a combination of kitchen timing and service was the problem. Food was very good.

For an expensive fine dining experience we were rushed through our meal. Entrees were at the table before we finished our apps. Very expensive meal.

Food was all delicious!!! We had the wedge salad which was amazing! The blue cheese dressing was outstanding. We also got the bone in prime rib and it was absolutely delicious! The quality of meat was great and the seasoning and flavor was great. We got mash potatoes which were creamy and perfect. Finished dinner with the butter cake!!!!! It was HUGE but totally worth it even if it was just the two of us!
