    Disappointed. For the price and being a steak only prefix menu, the meal was very average and somewhat flavorless. Staff was attentive and portions were good size but the salad and bread was the best part of the meal.

    They only serve steak and salad. The salad was okay. The steak was McDonald’s quality. If you’re gonna do one thing, do it well. Medium Rare was very poorly done.

    I suppose you get what you pay for, which is a relatively inexpensive but very mediocre steak dinner. A restaurant that offers only one meal ought to make sure it’s excellent. It is not. Although the salads were pretty good, they came before our drinks. Steak is very thinly sliced. First portion was cooked as ordered. The second was overcooked and chewy. The fries are completely ordinary and not in a good way. I didn’t care for the steak sauce; thought it was pasty. Service was fine. We won’t go back.

    The food was delicious. However, the service was terrible. It took forever to get drinks, and when we did get to order them the martinis came out wrong. So we pivoted to all drinking wine, and it took just as long. This was not a busy night, at best it was half full with 2 people sitting at the bar. We were a group of 5, who was prepared to have several drinks/cocktails each. In the 2 hours we were there we all had ONE glass of wine because the bar was SO SLOW. Even when we were trying to leave, we had to call to a server from across the restaurant to take our cards so we could pay because we’d had the bill for over 15 minutes without anyone checking on us. Unfortunately I don’t think any of us will be back because the service was so bad.

    The portions are extremely small… not to mention how long it took to get the food even thought they cook only one thing. You only get another portion once, which brings it closer to a normal portion….

    We enjoyed the steak frites at medium rare! The salad is also delicious with a light Vinaigrette dressing. Bread was also good and we were given seconds without asking. Water was also refilled several times. Overall a great value and very attentive service!

    We went for brunch and set at the bar. The tables for two in the restaurant are quite small, but certainly wouldn’t detour me from eating there. We enjoyed sitting at the bar and had ample space. The brunch menu is small, but very good. They have gluten free options and our server (bartender) was familiar with what I could have. Highly recommend!

    The Eggs Benedict were inedible. The appetizers were fair.

    Excellent food & drinks! It was a Sunday morning and SUPER loud music - they were very accommodating and turned the music down. Great time.
