The food and service were impeccable. This is our favorite upscale steak restaurant. There were two large parties that we were seated next to which definitely affected the noise level as they were not courteous of others. Besides that, it was fantastic!

Each dish brought out just got better and better! The service was so friendly and the servers were patient and knowledgeable. Our last dish took a little longer to come out so they brought us a spice infused wine that aids in digestion that they comped. It was such a nice treat!

The views from the restaurant are amazing! The table was perfect, just what we needed for our business meeting. The management was very accommodating when I had to add additional seating the day before. The staff showed us exceptional service and was super friendly plus very knowledgeable about the menu. We had an excellent time and will definitely be back!
