    This classic meets contemporary steak house still holds its own among the best of the premium restaurants in the city. The food is top notch, the service is always attentive without being stuffy, and the rooms, the decor, is exquisite. It's pricey, but worth the splurge.

    This was our first time coming here since we are from MD, but it was a lovely dining experience for our anniversary. Glenn was incredibly personable, fantastic salesman and catered to every need. The food was amazing, definitely recommend the American wagyu filet.

    The food was great. The front bar area was really cool. The main dining room is a bit raucous, but that is be expected.

    Fantastic meatery with a great “cozy library” atmosphere. Service was omnipresent but non-intrusive. Just enough noise to create privacy without the need to shout. Steaks were great and the apps and sides were actually worth eating. Great spot.

    One of the best meals ever. The service was amazing, friendly, thoughtful and without arrogance. The food was perfect and each item was the best version of that food I have ever had. Dover Sole, Mac and Cheese, ribeye, lamb, Brussels and the unforgettable, almost ordered 2-Caesar Salad. But yes, it is not cheap. Worth the trip for sure.
