    Date Night tonight. Thoughts: we were seated within 5 minutes after arriving (even though we were 15 minutes early). The place looks high end and was very clean. It is a touch loud but once you settle in you understand the noise level is because everyone is having a sensational dinning experience. Service was incredible!! Heather & Auggie were an amazing team who were flawless! Food was delicious. We had the fillet w/truffle butter, prime NY Steak, loaded mashed, mushroom skillet, and the cookies & ice cream. Each dish was cooked and seasoned to perfection....5 star all the way. My only criticism is that we were seated across from each other and could not sit close together (which is my preference). Meat Market is now officially in our rotation...See you again soon

    We celebrated my son’s Birthday dinner, the hospitality and food were all outstanding. Our service team Valeri and Madi provided excellent service and made our 11 yr old feel extremely special on his big day. Even the manager on duty came by to greet our table and provided his business card to my son and said “you let me know if you need anything”. As my son put it after dessert, “this was 5 stars”!
