    The steak was a 7 out of 10 a little bit under seasoned for my liking. Very well cooked though. The shrimp appetizer was a 6 out of 10 the bacon wrapped around the shrimp was burnt and the shrimp itself was not seasoned well. The garlic mashed potatoes were gummy but you can’t really screw up potatoes so I just added some extra butter.

    This was our second visit. The first was worse but warranted a return because we kept hearing positives anecdotally. And because we genuinely enjoy Desi Vega owned by the same people. The house salad was good not special but decent. The service was perfunctory and inconsistent. The onion soup had been souped up ( I couldn’t resist. ) and was both spicy and too salty. Finally, the rib eye steaks were at best mediocre having both of us musing that our own bought at Rouses would have been better and definitely cheaper.

    Best Restaurant in town imo. Food, Service and Ambiance are supreme. They roll out the red carpet every time we visit. They’ll give you lagniappe if it’s a special celebration or birthday too. The front of house managers are attentive and professional and the wait staff is next level friendly and knowledgeable. Go!

    Whenever presented with prime beef at a nice restaurant, I most times order a med-rare NY Strip - I expect more flavorful, yet a bit less tender than ribeyes or filets. This strip was only good in the center, with the outer edge very ordinary. Also, we dine out for the entire experience - cocktails, wine, food, service and ambiance. We had two drinks each, a four course meal and were done in 72 minutes from door to check. Anything less than 90-120 minutes (for 2 people) is rushed. Service was good - attention to our anniversary celebration. Oyster Rockefeller and turtle soup were good. Spinach salad was delicious. Steaks ok Lobster tail cold in one area. Lyonnaise potatoes were delicious. Crème Brûlée was good.
