    We ate at this place 2 years ago and it was a lot better then. We went last night and for a fairly expensive steakhouse the food was pretty terrible. The carrot soup had a great flavor but was served lukewarm warm. The beets / goat cheese wasn’t really a salad but just beets scattered on a plate with the cheese - the beets were not ripe / were very hard. My husband and I shared a bone in ribeye. It had zero flavor and was kind of just gross. The brussel sprouts were decent but were slathered in oil and a sauce on top that was just too much. We also had the truffle scalloped potatoes - flavor was good but potatoes were undercooked.

    Lovely evening dinner on Christmas Eve. The steak was done perfectly full of flavor. French onion soup far too salty lacked lightness to feel/see and enjoy onions. Broccolini was charred to the point it tasted like ash. Couldn’t eat it. Cocktails all good including specialty peppermint espresso martini, dirty gin martini and red wine.

    We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The service was outstanding — attentive, friendly, and professional. The food was absolutely delicious, everything was fresh and full of flavor. Special thanks to our servers, Abishai and Eric — they were amazing and made our visit even more enjoyable. We truly felt taken care of. Highly recommend this place, we’ll definitely be back!

    They were unbelievably accommodating and kind. I have a nut and shellfish allergy and I had my concerns about eating here but. They gave me nut and seed free bread. They gave me detailed information about what I could and couldn't have. I have had issues with nicer restaurants being difficult with allergies. That was not the case here.

    Made a reservation for 7:30 and still had to wait 30+ min for a table (this is just for 2 people). What’s the point of a reservation system if you don’t know how to make a reservation system work? Absolutely ridiculous, I’ve never experienced something like this from a more expensive restaurant. Learn how to host properly before allowing for reservations. EDIT: we actually didn’t even end up eating here because of how long the wait was WITH A RESERVATION. Do not eat here.
