   Over all fabulous! The only thing that was good in one way, a quieter part of the restaurant, but was a part of the dining room that was brighter and a bit out of the way. Really not a huge deal as everything else was wonderful!

   We asked for, and were seated at, a relatively quiet table. Michael, the server, was outstanding. The food was delicious and served at a perfect pace. We had a wonderful experience.

   The restaurant was loud and the room we sat in kind of nondescript. Most of the food was good and nicely prepared. However I ordered salmon medium rare and it was served lukewarm, overcooked and dry. The service was good. I thought the food was overpriced but I was not surprised becases that is pretty common in steak house restaurants.

   Went for dinner last night and LOVED it. Perfect way to kick off the weekend. Hostess accommodated our seating request for a high top in the bar. Wait staff was terrific, helping me choose a wine with some tasting first. Then the dinner - amazing filet with the coffee and cocoa rub - accompanied by delicious truffle fries. Didn’t have room for dessert this time. Top notch all the way - in a comfortable, bustling and lively setting.
