    It was our first time and I was a bit nervous, having selected this restaurant for my wife's birthday dinner celebration. We were not disappointed! Our waitress was so friendly, made excellent recommendations, and could not have been happier to welcome us. However, the food was the star! The meet was so tender, it basically melted in your mouth. The arugula salad that accompanied my selection was absolutely delicious; my wife's selection, the steak frites, equally so. We will definitely return!

    My steak was a bit undercooked even for medium rare. Everyone, including me did enjoy the food but felt it was a bit pricey for what we paid.

    Service staff has always been friendly, professional, and timely. The food has always been great, although sometimes I feel that the prices are a little high. However, if I want a high-end cut of steak with quality service and atmosphere, I can depend on these guys to deliver.
