This place is expensive but is usually the service and food is the best there is. Something is different than before. The server didn’t give us very good service. They undercooked and then overcooked my steak that caused a long delay in our visit. They made no adjustments to our check and they must not have a Manager for the way this was handled.

The overall ambiance was good and on a different night is likely beautiful. Unfortunately to get a 5 star its about the entire experience which came up short with an aggressive hostess and kids yelling and throwing toys. It wasn’t the environment you’d expect out of a steakhouse like this. We will likely give it another try. Hopefully the negative interaction was a fluke.
