  This was one of the worst dinners I have ever had, and I am 74 years old. I ordered a 16-ounce ribeye. What arrived could not have been more than 12 ounces. It was overcooked, full of gristle, and completely lacking in flavor. For a steakhouse, this was unacceptable. The side dishes were served family style, which made no sense for a restaurant at this price point. They were sloppy to serve, poorly presented, and frankly awful. None of them had any flavor. Family-style sides belong in casual restaurants, not in an expensive steakhouse. We paid eight dollars for four rolls. They were bland and doughy, and not worth the price. The shrimp cocktail appetizer had no flavor at all and tasted like it had been frozen, thawed, and left sitting out. The oysters Rockefeller were drowned in a heavy cream sauce to the point where you could not taste the oyster at all. Another issue was the staff’s canned sales approach. The dining manager told us that nearly everything we were considering was his “favorite” and that we would “love it.” When our server came over, he said the exact same thing. Even the hostess repeated similar comments. It felt scripted and clearly aimed at pushing the most expensive items on the menu rather than offering honest recommendations. The restroom experience was also unpleasant. There was a strange odor coming from a mix of urine and heavily scented candles, including pineapple and evergreen scents, which only made the smell worse instead of masking it. To make matters worse, we were seated in a small booth right next to the kitchen. Before we were finished eating, staff began spraying cleaning chemicals and bleach nearby. The smell was overpowering and nearly made us gag, which only added to an already terrible meal. The total bill for two people was $223 including tip. We had no alcoholic beverages. The cost was ridiculous for the quality of food and the overall experience. This meal was expensive, poorly executed, and absolutely not worth it in any way. I would never return and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

  Celebrated Christmas dinner here with my family (grown sons and husband). Everything was above and beyond exceptional from the beautiful restaurant, the atmosphere, the service and the food. We were warmly welcomed by (I'm guessing) the owner or manager who explained the history of the restaurant which began in Charleston, SC. We started sharing some appetizers. The beef tartare, hummus platter and warm rolls were all delicious. Our dinners included the boneless ribeye, seabass special, the Wagyu burger and seared scallops with fennel gnocchi, avocado mousse and sherry rum sauce. Everything was perfectly prepared. The Pumpkin-Date Sticky Cake was over-the-top perfection. This place is an upscale restaurant so expect to find prices to be on the steep side. However, for a lovely and special-occasion experience, it is definitely worth it and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to all my friends. This restaurant is only open for dinner. Get your reservation in!!

  WOW. All I can say is ABOVE AND BEYOND. Full disclosure - I have not yet eaten here but I have heard the food is fantastic - so I will be dining here soon! What I can tell you is that the service here is amazing - I can't remember the last time I felt so taken care of at a restaurant. The manager and staff went well above my expectations to set up a special dinner for some dear friends of ours - allowing me to hand deliver flowers for their table in advance - and even offering a special dessert to celebrate their anniversary. I was just blown away by the helpful suggestions and the friendliness of the entire staff - this has jumped up to my #1 restaurant based on the service alone (and of course because my mouth was watering at the delicious aromas inside) - I cannot wait to go back!

  The steak was excellent, as were the drinks. However, the appetizers, sides, and service were mediocre or disappointing. For steak sauces the hollandaise and Bearnaise were pretty bad, but the horseradish sauce was solid. Stick to the steak and get a drink, and nothing else and you'll have a great time.

  Went for a date night and had an amazing experience. Our server was attentive and gave recommendations which did not disappoint. The Brussel sprouts are probably the best I’ve had and the steak was delicious. Will definitely be back!
