We went there, knowing that two in our party would only go if they could have the ribeye steak. As it turns out, they had no ribeye steak as they were out of stock. They had no meaningful alternative and not very apologetic. It is clear this place is overpriced and its attention to customer service has fallen significantly I would stay away. We resorted to.Le Zoo next-door and had a great steak at half the price with fantastic service and a vibrant crowd.

They used to give a short rib that was enormous. Went recently and now it’s about half of what it was. Disappointed with that. Otherwise everything was great.
