The start was quite bumpy. But first of all, the ambience. Everything is very nicely done, but you have the feeling of sitting in a large ballroom. A lot could be done better with appropriate interior design.Our waiter was very polite but still very inexperienced. Our order of wine was a bit overwhelming for the young gentleman, as was the question of a sommelier. By the way, this is a real weak point of the restaurant: there is no sommelier. There is also a relatively simple wine list that only differentiates according to grape variety. It becomes a bit difficult as a wine connoisseur if all you see in the blends is the name of the winery and the wine. Very weak, especially when you also have wines worth over $500 on the menu. Nobody could really help. So thanks to the manager we tried the open wines. But a sommelier would actually be mandatory in a restaurant like this.So it took over 30 minutes before we were able to order something. And to be honest, we thought about leaving without eating here.The food came out of the kitchen quickly. And it was worth staying here. The salad as well as the raviolo for starters were excellent. The two steaks afterwards were perfectly prepared and tasted very good. Perfectly balanced roasted flavors without overpowering the meat taste. The cooking level was perfect. The dessert was just as good as everything before it.Would I go again? To be honest, I'm torn about this. On the one hand, the food was excellent, but on the other hand, the service still needs to be worked on until it is at the level it should be. Plus the missing sommelier. I also like to drink expensive red wine with my steak, but that is simply not possible here because there is no one who can really give good advice. And if I'm lucky, I don't want to order a bottle of wine for $200 plus.

The food, service and atmosphere are fantastic! This place knows how to make you feel special on your birthday. The server and manager kept checking to make sure everything was perfect and it was. The steak was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back more often. The petit filet in the steak butter was my favorite.

Had an amazing experience dining here. Service was a bit slow after they served the food. Our server kind of just disappeared on us, which was odd because it was late and pretty empty.We ordered the Porterhouse which was absolutely delicious, the creamy spinach was to die for and the Lobster Mac n Cheese which was completely disappointing. It was super dry because they put it in the oven and super bland. Besides the mac n cheese, id definitely go here again!

So much butter!Ridiculous amount of butter in all the entrees.I know we were a big group, but the table wasn't ready for our booking, service was slow, food took hours to come out and the staff weren't very knowledgeable on the wine list.Vegetarian options: Very few vegetarian optionsParking: Parking is a 5 mins walk away and EXTREMELY expensive

Food was nasty and not worth the price at all . The steak was nowhere near cooked the way I asked let alone taste the way I expected it to . if it was up to me I’d want a refund and will never go back there again . Don’t believe the hype when you hear this restaurant is good cause the food isn’t worth the price and the amount of food you get definitely is cheap . NEVER AGAIN !

High prices, mediocre food, poor service. I order a steak medium-rare, it came out rare at best. No one bothered to ask me how it was until more than halfway thru. I ordered a sauce on the side which never arrived. The steak was decent, but not living up to $69. After finished, I waited 15-20 mins with plate in front of me before it was cleared. After that, nothing was offered in terms of dessert, coffee etc and the bill was suddenly presented after sitting with no one checking in for at least 30 mins more. The brussel sprouts were good, but for $15 they should be. Overall, meh.

We recently celebrated my mother's birthday at this location and found it to be very good. When greeted at the door they were expecting us and everyone was really attentive. My mom had a great time and enjoyed the meal and had tons of leftovers for later. Scott, our waiter was helpful and very patient, he was able to provide some recommendations too. Our orders came out as requested and everyone was satisfied with their meal.I was able to speak to the manager Robert for some time as he approached us to check in on our dinner, extremely knowledgeable and very approachable and service-oriented. Overall a great experience.
