I've never in my life had a steak as good as the one I did here, and I do fancy myself a steak connoisseur. The Japanese wagyu was exceptional. The service was phenomenal, the waitress was educational and helpful. Yum y'all was everything I needed it to be, fun but still felt quaint. We had the sprouts which I would not skip, the mashed potatoes which were the perfect compliment to the steak, the mushrooms which I severely underestimated and were amazing. The most surprising enjoyment however, was the pastrami sausage appetizer! Never in a million years did I imagine that would be as good as it was! All in all this was a fantastic experience and I can't wait to go back.

Wonderful service! Really aesthetic, nice looking restaurant too. We sat in the main dining area facing the kitchen with the wood fired grill. Food was great too, we split the 14 ounce New York strip, sides of potatoes & Spanish carrots. In my opinion, the value just kind of missed the mark which is the reason for only four stars. The meal was expensive ($100/pp with tip, even with sharing an entree) and the cocktail sizes were too small given the price.

Somewhere between 3 and 4 star. I picked this place for my birthday because the photo of the huge ribs totally got me, but honestly, that ended up being the reason I couldn’t give five stars. All the appetizers and side dishes were amazing. The truffle mac & cheese? Easily a 10/10. But the main dishes were just… fine. Nothing tasted bad, but also nothing I’d want to order again. The ribs looked super impressive and HUGE, but maybe that’s the problem. The outside was so dry it almost made me cough, and the inside was pretty dry too. Great sides, great appetizers, really friendly vibe ( can be loud and crowded since it's usually packed ) but the mains didn’t quite hit the mark for me. That's why I can't give it a 4 star since it's fine dining.

Me and my boyfriend came here for our anniversary dinner (with a reservation which we moved around quite a bit, with no issue) and the lady who showed us to our seats asked us if there was a special occasion- so we briefly told her. The service was absolutely amazing and friendly and by far the best I’ve ever experienced dare I say in my life. From the waiter to the servers to even the bussing of the dishes. Our waitress was so incredibly helpful and thoughtful! She somehow caught wind that it was our anniversary and gave us a free scoop of ice cream and congratulated us! They anticipated our every need and did it swiftly and with care. Thank you guys so much!

Great location for team dinner. The Jalapeños with peanut butter starter is quite original. A must- try. If regular menu items are delish, desserts are even better and of sharable size. You're in for a good surprise when you order the chocolate cake. Helpful and polite staff, great decor.
