    I had an amazing experience at this steakhouse. Their steaks have a unique flavor—almost like the seasoning you’d find on lamb skewers, with that hint of cumin aroma. The first time I tried it, I was genuinely shocked by how good it was. If you’re trying American-style steak for the first time or you’re not always comfortable with the usual flavor, I highly recommend this place. Costco even sells their gift cards, and using one is basically like getting 20% off if you have access to it. The atmosphere is great too—perfect for date nights or anniversaries. The only thing to keep in mind is that the dishes are on the pricier side, usually $50+ per person. For comparison, a steak of similar size might be almost half the price at Texas Roadhouse, though they’re very different in style, so it's just a point of reference. This steakhouse has become my go-to spot for date nights with my wife. Highly recommended. 这家牛排店的牛排非常好吃,有种羊肉串的味道不知道你能不能理解,就有孜然的香味。我第一次吃的时候感觉被震惊到了。如果你不太能接受或者第一次尝试美式牛排,真的超级推荐这家。costco有卖它家的giftcard,有条件的话用礼卡付相当于八折。这家的环境很好,适合约会或者周年纪念,当然菜品也稍贵,人均50+,可能同样size的牛排在texas roadhouse能便宜一半,当然两家餐厅定位不同,只是提供一个参考~

    They made thier mistakes right! We sat for about 40 min and had only received our salad and steak fries. My husband went to manager and he quickly found the problem . Somehow our ticket got lost and apologized over and over. Our fries and salad were free. My husband and I will return at some point we understand things happen. We couldn't stay bc we were headed to who's live is it anyway! Hats off to that manager and how quickly he fixed the issue.
