Beef Wellington and short rib were amazing! I got the Ramsey rage cocktail as well and it was fantastic. We also got the classic toffee pudding and it was phenomenal. Came solely for the desert since we first tried it at the Vegas location a couple months ago and found out there’s one in valley center!!

The service, atmosphere, and—most importantly—the food was exceptional! Be prepared to spend a bit if you want a hearty meal. The entrees are decent, but please note that they do not come with any sides. We ordered the filet mignon, which was a generous portion, and we also got asparagus and baked mac and cheese. The sides were large enough to share. The specialty cocktails are an excellent addition! If you don’t often dine at fine establishments, I recommend this place for a special occasion. Our bill was a little over $300 for the two of us, but it was worth it!

Very disappointed with the price of what it was compared to what I received. Not to mention I ordered it medium rare and it came in looking pretty Gray. I was told that we had extra quality control because it was like the show. When you get something like filet Mignon you expect it to be top-notch and when you add the lobster to it you expect it to be in butter sauce like they said. Maybe I got the children's menu but it was a quarter of what I expected. My guest seemed to enjoy his meal accept the vegetable medley only had 2 vegetables. It was his birthday so it was nice that they ended it with a coconutdessert that the waiter new to bring out in a vegan style. The waiter however was fantastic and he said he'd been there since they opened.
