There’s something very strange about this place including the ambience. The decor was more like a cheesy nightclub than a fine dining establishment. The menu was very quirky with lots of items that were more like appetizers than entrees. Food and drink were ordered with a QR code and our mobile phone. In addition to high-priced food, a 18% service charge was automatically added to the bill with the expectation for an additional tip. Seemed heavy-handed since the ordering process was self-serve. Chef was really nice, food was tasty, server delivered food to table in a pleasant manner, overall price was on ok but ambiance was hideous. Beware of the 18% service charge added to bill but not clearly disclosed. Likely will not return.

May very well be the future of steak houses, unbelievable. How does this place also have some of the best scallops I’ve ever tasted? Perfect is the word when describing the slabs of meat coming from this kitchen. The porterhouse and mignon were perfect. The porterhouse came with a bacon jam which was an excellent combination with the steak. Now let’s talk scallops. The scallops were incredibly delicious, amazingly prepared, a nice size and swimming in a delectable butter sauce. The amount of amuse bouchée and palate cleansers is Michelin star worthy. Seriously how does this place not carry a star? Great food, fantastic service, amazing ambiance, what else is left? An incredible dinning experience and definitely worth the price.

It’s ok, nothing to brag about at this price point vs quality. Service have been excellent the times I have visited. Establishment is clean. Drinks are consistent. Good neighborhood. Street parking shouldn’t be an issue. Doesn’t seem to get to crowded during week nights. I would frequent more often if the food quality was higher up. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad but for the price it’s not great.

This restaurant earns the title of one of the top 25 Steakhouses in the country. The 5 A ribeye was excellent. The mac and cheese gnocchi was delicious. Hana paired an fantastic wine (Martin Ray) with my meal. The bacon Bread was unique and good. This place has a good atmosphere for business or a group meeting. The staff was great and the service met or exceeded expectations at every level. If you are a steak lover this place is a must.

The food, the impeccable attention to service, the location. Everything was just right. Steaming hot, dripping deliciousness, served within a reasonably short time. The alcoholic drink options were vast and varied. Everything made this visit perfect. Keep it up!

It was a mediocre steakhouse. I got the bass. Cooked to perfection and tasted great. Ordered the banana pudding fluff thing. Cool to watch the server break the puff and mash it with the topping. Looks big but it was gone in like 3 bites. Staff were all very cool.

Phenomenally overpriced and overrated. If a $59 filet was tasty and cut like butter, it MAY be worth it. But sadly that wasn’t the case. $33 for a side of truffle mac n cheese with lobster was good, not great, and barely large enough for 2. Atmosphere was nice, though it looks like something from generic from the 1980s. Service was excellent, though.

While the service is great, the food is very mediocre. The meat on both steaks that we ordered was overcooked and dry. The starters were OK, but again, nothing to rave about. I would consider other options since the food should be much better than this at this price point

We loved this place! A friend invited us here for dinner after swearing by this place, and he was right! The food here is fantastic, the ribeye steak was big and greatly cooked. The service was excellent and the desert was surprising and delightful. We are going to come back every month.
