The service was amazing. The hostess (didn’t get her name, but her bangs were on point) was super friendly as was the door man. Our server, Gokhan, and his assistant were attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and were great at anticipating our needs. They noticed what we needed before we even knew we needed it. The NY was cooked perfectly. The Brussels spouts and mashed potatoes were rich and flavorful. Make sure you ask about the portion sizes of the sides! The mashed potatoes were enough for one, but the sprouts were enough for three people. This was my first time going, and I will absolutely be back the next time I am craving a good steak.
