Kinda pricey, but totally worth it!

by apotts88

My boyfriend and I went there for the first time March of last year for our anniversary and loved it! While our table was being prepared, we waited in the bar and the bartender was funny and friendly and made a hell of a drink! We were seated shortly and because it was our anniversary, they decorated the table with "happy anniversary" confetti and our menus said Happy 3 years. Talk about above and beyond! Our waitress was the friendlier than I had anticipated and gave us great service and suggestions. Everything is a la carte but the sides and salads are big enough to share and just as good as their steak. I had a double cut filet and it literally melted in my mouth it was so good! My boyfriend got the porterhouse and loved it too. Our wedge salad and potato skins were perfect! I would love to say that the dessert was delicious but we were way too full! All in all, it was a great experience. Yes, its pricey but you get what you pay for and totally worth it. Needless to say, My boyfriend and I are making this a tradition and are going back in a couple weeks for our four year anniversary :)

• Pros: location, service, STEAK!
• Cons: pricey

Well deserving of its reputation...

by Tunaesq

Lets start off by saying that this is NOT a place to get a steak (or any other entree for that matter) if you are frugal, thrifty, or just plain stingy... that being said, DAMN this was some good steak!!! My wife and I came to the restaurant for her birthday, and the staff could not have been more attentive or friendly. We had reservations and were seated promptly to a table that was specially decorated with birthcay decor (understated but got the message accross). Every employee that passed by our table even stopped to wish her a happy birthday! The hostess even came by to take a picture, and to our surprise returned with a souvenire printed picture!!!

Ok, now for the meal...

The steak was cooked exacty as we had ordered it and was tender and tasty. Also, we started with bacon wrapped scallops, and I have to say they were the best scallops I have ever had. The sides we ordered (grilled asparagus and macaroni and cheese) were also excellent. In fact, if i could find only one flaw with this restaurant is the prices in the drink menu. The wine is ridiculously overprised, even by restaurant standards, so I would recommend bringing your own bottle and paying the corkage fee ($25, but when a GLASS of cabernet will set you back an average of $17, I would say well worth it). Otherwise this place is well deserving of all the hype!!!

• Pros: Staks and service
• Cons: drink prices

You get what you pay for, and you pay a lot

The food is very expensive, but it is, indeed, delicious. I was there for a business celebration dinner. Their cocktails are wonderful, as is the Pinot Noir and Cabernet. We had smoked salmon and tuna tartare for appetizers. The salmon was amazing, but I didn't care too much for the tuna. I ordered the single cut filet mignon with bearnaise sauce (basically hollandaise with tarragon...yummy). It was very good. I also had a bite of my boyfriend's bone-in ribeye and it was just dripping with flavor. You should order your steak one notch above the way you like it cooked. I like my steak medium, but it came out more like medium rare. The upside-down apple pie with ice cream is a culinary dream. i don't even like apple pie, but this was unbelieveable. Ladies: I wore a nice pair of dark jeans and silk halter top with heels, so the dress code here isn't cutthroat. Guys: There were men in suits, but no tie or jacket is required. Our check came to about $200 per person, with tip...to give you an idea of pricing (but then again, we didn't really spare any expense).

• Pros: Service, drinks, steak
• Cons: Pricing, king crab legs weren't so fresh
