    Our waiter Natt was very attentive and fast. Brought out a couple of glasses of bubbly for the wife’s birthday. I had the tuna poke and wife had the short ribs. Both superb choices.

    Food took a while to come out. When it did the plates were hot to the touch so you could tell they were sitting under heat lamps for a while. Ten minutes later waiter comes by to check on things, and I let them know the item he upsold me on wasn’t even brought out. They apologized and said it would be right out. 15 minutes later I finished my overcooked steak and they tell me only a few more minutes. When I said I don’t wait it anymore they looked shocked.

    I have been to this restaurant previously, in Feb 2024, which is why I made a return visit. That said, my experience this time was much less impressive. The steak I order was was closer to well done versus medium. The short ribs dish was oaky, with the meat being on the dryer side. While I complement them on great cocktail offerings and variety of quality liquor choices, the pricing is way above reasonable. Wines I know to be $20-25 or $75-90 are priced at almost $100 or $250+ respectively. This seems to be different than my prior visit, which is why is am rating the value of the experience to be 3 star.

    Excellent food and service. Pricy, but maybe par for the course in a tourist area.
