We were seated in the back or secondary dining room. It sure doesn't have the same ambiance as the main room. The food was outstanding, as we have always had here. Like everywhere anymore, the prices were much higher.

The food was as expected: very good. Between us, we had the ribeye, the filet and shrimp scampi. Even though the tables are very close together, it still felt like an intimate setting given the dividers between the seats. We arrived a little early and ordered drinks at the bar. I asked for a vanilla lemon drop drink and the bartender had never heard of one before but took that as a challenge to make. He didn’t look it up, he just made it like it sounded and it was on point. One of the best I’ve had. Well done on your bartenders part.

This was an interesting experience but I don’t think I’d return. Food and service were adequate although expensive for a crowded steakhouse, with a very limited menu. I think that if it hadn’t been so loud that a conversation wasn’t possible, I would have felt more relaxed as the atmosphere was pretty frantic.
