    I’ve been to this restaurant probably 40+ times they usually always get it right but tonight It was a bit lackluster, so maybe it was just an off night! But I will continue to go back!

    Amazing place if you want a good steak. The menu can be confusing but our server was very helpful and prompt. We didn’t wait long for our food. It is expensive but you get what you pay for. Yum yum.

    I had high hopes for this meal, but unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the worst steakhouse experiences. From the start, the octopus appetizer was as hard as a rock. Things didn’t get any better with the main course—my surf and turf arrived with a cold lobster tail and equally cold potatoes. The only redeeming factor of the night was our server, who was kind and attentive, trying her hardest to make the experience enjoyable. Unfortunately, good service couldn’t make up for the disappointing food. I won’t be returning. The valet people were also extremely rude.

    Excellent service. Glasses were spotted and they brought clean glasses without having to be told. Hot towels with lemons to clean you hands after eating. Multiple servers check on us. Only one drink was horrible the French 75 after asking for a new bottle of Prosecco still tasted flat.
