Don't even waste your time. Worst dining experience of my life. It started out a Saturday night at 6:30 I wanted an appetizer. They were out of what I wanted on a Saturday night at 6:30. There wasn't anyone in there except for one other table. Then we ordered three overpriced rib eyes We all ordered them rare The server brings me a strip steak that's not even rare and then once to argue with me when the center of it is gray and tries to tell me that it's rare that that's just the way it looks lmao I've been doing carnivore for 5 years. I think I know what a rare steak looks like lmao so I substitute the french fries for brussel sprouts. I was like okay you can't mess up brussel sprouts. Long story short, I like salt I love salt. But these things were so salty. It burned my throat. I will never go back there not even if someone offered to pay for my food

Service was awful. I am not usually a complainer, but one plate showed up a half hour ahead of the rest. Never saw a drink refill. Took a half hour of waving to finally get the check. Simply a bad experience.

Steak was bad, ordered Mac and cheese and never got it, son was throwing up before we even left the restaurant, asked to speak to manager and the waiter said he was the owners son. Drinks were flat and never offered to get me another drink, he said he just assumed I would drink water. When we got the bill he doubled charged one meal, then put somebody else's charges on my ticket. When asked about why my steak was bad, he said it was an older piece of meat. Absolute b.s.

The Salmon was amazing. Restaurant was very clean with a lot of attention to detail in the atmosphere and cleanliness. Only took a star off for service as the waiters seemed to hide around a back corner for quite awhile. Food was slow to come out but freshly made.

We shared the fried cheese appetizer, each had the ribeye StoneGrill which was a new experience. The key lime tart was a small dessert ☺️.StoneGrill is your choice of meat brought out on a 750* rock and had salt in our case for the steaks. I was amazed at the quality of the meat. It was superb.I found the process of slicing a piece off, grilling it myself on the rock, and then letting it cool to be quite fun.Definitely come and have something in a new experience. ?

Excellent meats, just perfect. You kinda cook it to your preference and it’s seasoned good.The fries are weak but I guess you don’t go here for the fries.The service was ok, there was a bit of a wait for the food but so worth it.We also got the provoleta it wasn’t what we were expecting but it didn’t taste. Ad.You need reservations.

The best steak I've ever had! I had such a good time here with my family! They are short staffed at the moment so you have to be patient! The server was very nice and helpful even though he had a lot to do.

We really enjoyed our dining experience with our friends tonight at your restaurant!!! The steaks were so good on the hot stone! The appetizers were also so good! The staff was very nice and friendly! Would definitely recommend and come back again! Thanks so much!

Even though they had a huge table, we were taken care of. The staff was super friendly, and the steak was great. The stoneware cooking method is unique, and we had never had anything like it before. The empanadas as an appetizer were delicious. This was our first time here, and we will likely go back.

They charge you for any substitutions. The water they serve you is faucet water. How cheap is that??? Food came out cold. The server only came back once and that was 20 minutes after receiving cold food. He didn’t even care that it was. Avoid this place. The only good part was the bus boy. He was friendly and attentive.

Highly recommend, this is a treat! The food is 2nd to none. Try the appetizers when you go! The steak was a 16oz and covered the stone before we tore it up . The stone experience was unique-your steak cooks on the stone at your table, the server tells you all about it. The flavor was amazing. They do have paper menus if you don't want to use the QR code- just ask. This is a gold nugget restaurant and I'm so happy we ate here. Our friends had the pork chop and chicken breast and they also loved it. I wish I had taken pics of the plated food because the chef made great effort to make it look so nice!

The waiter was so helpful and answered all questions! I had the Salmon and Latin rice and both were amazing! The empandas were overcooked and kind of dry. My sil had the ribeye steak and it was bland and not tender. Even though I would come back here, I will not have the steak or empanadas.

You just have to go! Food was absolutely delicious. The staff was great and the head chef takes great pride in what he delivers to patrons.

My significant other and I came here for the first time for my birthday dinner. It was a Saturday night, 2 other tables while we were there.He ordered a modelo, and the best by date was may 2022; it is October 2022, it was tasteless. I ordered an old fashioned; it was poured from a premixed bottle onto ice, no garnish. Disappointment for this type of drink.Our server forgot our appetizer. He also forgot our desert.Food was very good, but but everything else was disappointing. We were both very sad about this experience considering how much hype this place has :(

Wasn't too sure about the menu. It was novel in how it was presented. On line in the restaurant. Food was excellent. The steaks brought out on a stone. The server was very good at explaining how the stone was used to cook the steak in front of you.
