  Top notch experience. Passionate staff that care about you whether you're a paying customer or a top tier A-Lister. Unmatched food, amazing environment, very high quality cocktails. This is dining at it's pinnacle. Thank you to the Maître D and Manager for accomodating us on our special night and thank you to the entire staff for a fantastic unforgettable experience.

  From the moment we were seated, it was clear the staff takes their craft seriously. Our server Claude was professional and attentive throughout the evening, delivering the specials for both dinner and dessert with the kind of descriptive, engaging detail that actually helps you make a decision. The restaurant operates at a higher price point, so the complimentary touches feel genuinely gracious rather than perfunctory. The chilled pickles to start were a simple, refreshing way to open the meal. And to close — the lemon sorbet, served in what looks like a whole egg shape, is as delightful to eat as it is to look at. For the evening’s specials, two cuts were presented tableside in a treasure box: an elegant display that lets the quality of the product speak for itself before it ever hits the grill. We opted for the wagyu, finished with a bright citrus preparation that balanced the richness of the meat beautifully. The char on the exterior gave way to a perfect medium-rare (leaning on the side of rare) center, yum! The Waldorf salad is worth mentioning — not the traditional version you might expect, as there are no apples in sight, but the combination of greens, figs, and celery with a vinaigrette dressing captures the spirit of the classic. A refreshing option that I’d choose over a standard Caesar— though knowing this kitchen, I’m sure that’s delicious as well. On the sides: the green beans almondine was the standout of the evening for me — hands down my favorite side. The creamed corn pot pie is obviously a must-order, if only for the theatrics of the presentation. As for cocktails, the smoked dirty martini is the real deal. It earns its drama — the smokiness rounds out the vodka and brine in a way that lingers well past the last sip. One thing I’d skip on my next visit is the bread and butter martini. To be fair, asking a cocktail to taste like carbs and fat is a tall order — the alcohol inevitably gets in the way. We finished with the Compressed pineapple and the banana desert , highly recommend both.

  I had a wonderful experience at The Eighty Six! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and stylish. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely valued throughout our visit. The food was outstanding, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was prepared with care, and you can tell the kitchen takes pride in the quality of their ingredients. The drinks were equally impressive and paired perfectly with the meal. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back and try everything on the menu.

  We were trying to get into 4 Charles Prime, even though we got there an hour early. We still couldn't get in. So I remembered seeing a YouTube video about this new place. We took a chance and walked over. We got to the door and Jermaine greeted us. It was about 4:15, and we were sat immediately. That's when the magic happened. I'm not going to go every every single piece of food we ate. But I've been telling everybody that will listen to me. That I've never had a meal where every single thing was at the highest level that I've ever eaten. On top of that our server was absolutely fantastic the service in general was stellar. Before this night Keen's steakhouse was my favorite. Now it's my second favorite. 100% recommend. Also sorry I didn't take pictures of the food. We devoured it as soon as it showed up.

  So here’s the good news. Food was delicious. Atmosphere great. Drinks wonderful. Even the service was amazing. So why the 2 stars? Because they treated us like cattle. After a two hour dinner, the check arrived. I asked for a dessert menu as we weren’t finished with dinner.They told us the next reservation was coming so we had to leave. Apparently this is how they operate their business. I was having a business dinner which had to end because they over booked themselves. They apologized, admitted it’s how they operate. But it left us with a terrible taste in our mouths. While the food and experience was great, they totally ruined it by kicking us out. If you’re ok getting booted out, worth the trip. If you want a great meal including dessert and no rush, definitely find another restaurant.
