    The food was superior! The steaks were cooked to perfection, the service was phenomenal. Tony was our waiter and provided top-notch service. Will be back just to visit him! Oh, I can't forget the coconut custard pie best I've ever had.

    Great food and service as always! Table next to us was a bunch of lawyers - one who was extremely loud and a bit annoying. Generally, this is not an issue. We dine here often.

    I booked dinner for two and explicitly did not select the bar. Upon showing up for my reservation, I was told I was moved to the bar. I pushed back and was told I could sit in the restaurant but only had 45 minutes to eat because of another reservation. Can you imagine? I had to wolf down my food and wine all because the hostess prioritized politicos over me. My money is as green as theirs and I work a block away. I eat lunch here at least once a week and spend about $90! I won't be back. The whole thing was humiliating. Very disappointing from what is typically a classy steakhouse chain.
