    Food was okay. Steak was a bit dry and needed some more seasoning, bread was wonderful. Highly recommend getting bean soup

    Just too pricey for what u get and way too noise, they crowd everyone in. I like a little more space and quieter so I can hear my own conversation. Waitress Sarah was very awesome though

    Surprisingly a number of small children. Quite noisy. Waiter didn’t know what a Champaign cocktail was and was hard of hearing or just couldn’t hear over the noise level. Filet contained too much fat. Excellent cheesecake saved the day.

    First timers. There were 5 of us for dinner - our waiter was very nice, but may have had to many tables. He did give us an excellent wine recommendation. Main course was served as we were eating our soup and salads. Tomahawk was ordered medium and came out luke-warm and sane for one of the filets. Spent a little over $800, did not seem like an $800 meal experience. Not sure if we will go back. Also not a fan of paying $15 for valet parking, only to find out car was parked on the street 20 feet from front door.
