    Celebrating new year’s dinner here. The menu selection was awesome. The staff and hostess were professional and friendly. Got a couple cocktails and were very good. Ordered the Mediterranean Octopus for a starter. It was fresh and delicious with a tad bit spicy. Had a 10oz Creekstone steak which is halal steak that they have. It was cooked as requested. Absolutely delicious. The siide dishes of roasted brussel sprouts however was salty, same as the frites. Somehow they were a little too salty. Also ordered japanese sweet potatoes which absolutely great and flavorful. Finished off with the expresso cream brulè and it was an indulgence. RPM Steak is great upscale dining for special occasions.

    Service is always impeccable and quick. On this visit, we were provided a complimentary taste of an umeboshi digestif and a N/A Arnold Palmer-type digestif. That made this visit extra special. December special was especially delicious!
