    We arrived on time and waited 15 min for our reserved table. It was so loud we could hardly hear each other across the table. The table beside us was so close we couldn't get in to the booth without our clothing being on their table. The food took an hour to arrive. Everyone agreed their meat was cooked as ordered. The side vegetables were a great disappointment. Who wants to eat sweet mushrooms? Totally ruined the palate for the meat. I won't be back and won't recommend to others. We had heard such great things about this restaurant. Shout out to Adam, our waiter who was kind, patient and communicative.

    We had a great experience. The hostesses were friendly, our server was helpful and knowledgeable as well as friendly, the wait staff was cordial and the food was seriously delicious! The filet mignon, 60 day aged ribeye, the sides and the oysters were all spectacular. One of the better meals I’ve had in a long time. I would definitely recommend and will be back.

    We stopped by for a business meeting and had one of the best steaks I’ve ever had in my life. Dry aged, New York. It would be an understatement to say that it was fantastic.

    It’s located in Gaslamp quarter & within walking distance from nearby hotels. It’s our first time dining here for lunch. While the restaurant was not crowded, it took long time to get our food, over 30 minutes. Prosecco was very bubbly, sirloin steak was cooked very well, chicken sandwich had thick breading that broke off when cutting to eat (too big to bite). French fries were not hot or tasty. Service was friendly but very slow, even when restaurant was more than half empty. Maybe the service is quicker during dinner with more staff…
