Came on my bday for a quick dinner before night outing. I don’t get the complaints. Food was amazing. Highly recommend the oysters. The steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection and the ravioli was just the cherry on top. The bartender took great care of me and gave great recs. Lovely experience.
This steakhouse provided an elegant setting that beautifully complemented a truly exceptional dining experience. From the beverages to the cuisine, every aspect was impressive. The drinks were refreshingly flavorful and expertly prepared. The martini experience was outstanding, leading us to order another. The ribeye and wagyu strip were cooked to perfection and seasoned flawlessly. We greatly enjoyed both steaks. The side of smashed potatoes was full of flavor, with the accompanying sauce adding a delightful finishing touch. The truffle mac n cheese was decadently cheesy and creamy. The tableside preparation of the banana foster was a highlight of the experience, and its flavor was exquisite. Our server was exceptional, offering thorough explanations and insightful recommendations for the beverages. The atmosphere was quiet and intimate, with the restaurant's decor showcasing a sophisticated, modern style. We will be returning soon.

Stopped in for dinner before heading out for the evening and ended up having a fantastic experience. The food exceeded expectations and every dish we ordered was prepared beautifully. We started with a seafood appetizer that was incredibly fresh and flavorful, followed by a perfectly cooked steak that was seasoned just right. We also tried a pasta dish that complemented the meal perfectly and was packed with flavor. The service was equally impressive. We sat near the bar, and the bartender was attentive, friendly, and offered excellent recommendations that helped make the evening even better.
Take your classy lady to a classy, white tablecloth restaurant - especially when celebrating an event like remembering an engagement! Everything here was fantastic! Make sure you make use of the (optional) valet parking (10 dollars, they do take Apple Pay).
Pics of the food and desserts are included! They even gave us one of the desserts on the house because we were celebrating.
