Interesting location. Great food and ambience. We got a late reservation. Our waiter was great but his energy was low; looked like he was ready for his shift to end. Our hostess said we would get a desert on the house because we were celebrating a birthday; however the waiter never brought it up. Oh well!

Drinks were awesome, mussels were amazing, sides were great, service was fabulous, the steaks were some of the worst steaks we have ever had though. We frequent steak houses and my filet was cooked medium rare but was so hard to chew and my husbands ribeye was cooked medium rare and also so chewy and took forever to get through. It was weird because it was cooked right, but the cut didn’t even resemble a filet mignon or ribeye, it was more like stew meat. Either we were unlucky and just got the two worst steaks of the night, or they need a new meat supplier. Everything else was great though and we had such a fun night.

The food was great as has always been our experience we like the ambience there as it is elegant, but not stuffy. service was a bit slow - but it was a Saturday night and they were very busy which is great to see.
