The service at the table was very good; though very busy and loud the table cause service was attentive and hustled throughout! I think I got my water refilled seven times? The food was very good as usual except the very last bite of steak was significantly gristle. There was a ten minute wait after our reservation time and the front desk asked our name when we arrived but then merely marked us and turned away. No greeting and no other guidance/ politeness/ etc. They were however very busy so she had her hands full. We will go back on a less busy evening in the future (not Saturday at 7) but it was consistent quality every time we have been if a bit pricey

Way too loud even though we asked the manager to turn the music down. I don’t recall wanting to dine in a club. Service was good and food tasty. The second pass meat was much better than the first.

Thank god I got a table by the window. Tight walkways and tables are incredibly close to each other. The secret sauce and fries were delicious and the steak added a good touch.

My Valentine’s Day dinner at Medium Rare was exceptional. The food, the service, and the drinks were up to par as usual. My only complaint is that I felt a little rushed through the pre fix dining courses - seemed like they wanted to get as many people in and out as fast as possible. Not the most intimate moment you want on a special day like this. Other than that, everything else was great.
