I didn’t want to leave a review because I don’t want other people to know about this place. It might be my favorite restaurant in the city. Amazing food, great drinks, awesome service. Martinis are perfect. Prime rib is excellent. The garlic bulb app is a must have. Great atmosphere and vibe!

Came here by a recommendation, menu all looked really good. I decided on the prime rib dinner, it was very delicious,baked potato and a side of broccoli. Very delicious, ate at the bar and service was great. Would definitely come back again when I'm in the area. Gets very busy for dinner and I can see why.

Very nice Brazen Head! Top to bottom, well done. Braised short rib was tender. But the lobster ravioli stole the show. Service was amazing too. A must try!

Old-school, cozy steakhouse vibes—very small inside, but there’s a bar and some outdoor seating too. They don’t take reservations, so be ready for a bit of a wait. Prices are super reasonable! We spent $168 for two people, which included a bottle of wine, two apps, two entrées, and dessert. The standout was the petite filet—cooked perfectly medium rare with great flavor. On the flip side, the meatballs were a bit dry, and the French onion soup lacked depth. The lobster ravioli came in a light sauce, but unfortunately, the lobster tasted overly fishy. Now the bread pudding? Absolutely amazing. Warm, served with ice cream, and packed with apples and raisins—it totally stole the show. Overall, I’d 100% go back for the steak and that bread pudding—but probably skip the rest.
