For the price, I expected a better steak. Ordered a dry aged rib eye and could have sworn we got a strip steak. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, but I felt it was extremely overpriced for what you got.

The food was very good, the service was attentive and professional, and the space is really grand. Unfortunately, the hotel was having some construction done in the lobby area, just outside of the restaurant, and it was extremely noisy and disruptive. Quite disappointing when you’re trying to have a conversation.

My partner & I found the steaks super delicious! Very impressed in comparison to other restaurant steaks. Service was great & the free bday dessert (bread pudding) was amazing! 2 drinks, 2 steaks, an appetizer, and a side to share for under $200- not bad at all! Would recommend. Great atmosphere
