Quiet, classy atmosphere and over all a beautiful restaurant. Drinks were good, but the steak was well below what I would expect from a steakhouse. Quite plain. I hadn't been there for a while, and I remembered having a great steak there several years ago. Both of my guests agreed that it was not a very good steak. One of us got the skirt steak, another the filet and the other the cowboy ribeye. Service was great.
Fantastic in every way. Steaks and sides were awesome. Get the house special with their special sauce--it'll make you hate ever having steak without it again. Even the bread and butter is an elevated experience. Service was great too but the bar is a touch slow. 10/10 recommend
This is the best steak I've had in over 10 years. When you think of tender and well marinated steak, this place is top notch. I'm a very picky eater and they basically passed my taste test with flying colors ❤️ Our waitress and hosts were very gracious and kind as well. This place is a 10 out of 10.
I made a reservation for Friday at 5 p.m. The place is very spacious, but from the outside it doesn’t look like it. There’s parking right next to it. Our waiter was super kind, and the service overall was very friendly. The drinks were excellent and very well made. The menu has good options, and the food was delicious. They serve complimentary bread with jalapeño butter. We got the provolone with tomato (it would be great if they served it with flour tortillas), the churrasco with asparagus and a kind of chimichurri, the gnocchi with shrimp as the dish of the day, and for dessert the chocolate soufflé. To drink, we had an Argentine red wine and a Manhattan. I highly recommend this place!
Came here for a solo steak dinner. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The empanada was good enough with the surprisingly delicious tomato salsa. The ribeye was so juicy and tender with a nice charred flavor. The steak was also cooked perfectly for medium rare. As for the drinks, the Pinot Noir is a nice selection. The champagne was just mediocre. Overall, a highly rated steakhouse in town. Way to go!
