Superb side dishes: mashed potatoes, creamed spinach (a little crunchier than at other places, truffle fries. Then surf and turf for me and rib eye for my spouse,both perfectly cooked. The lobster tail was good sized. We finished with chocolate ice cream and, of course, cotton candy.

They gave her a card which was nice and sat us down. They asked for our preference of water (although hid the cost untilwe got the bill not free water but $12 a bottle) and after about 10 minutes we still did not meet our server so we asked theperson giving us our napkins and water to take our orders. Mind you, this was 2pm lunch service on a Saturday and we were oneof two tables in eye shot. He happily took it though, and we then played the waiting game. We were given a shot of soup and ourstarter pretty quickly (where we finally met our server), but soon realized it had been 50 minutes without getting our actualfood. At about 3pm, we did get the food with no explanation to the delay. Granted we did not get the namesake steaks andopted for the not steaks portion for a lighter lunch, so I cannot speak to their specialties. However, I got the French Dipsandwich with prime rib on it, and it was....not great. I 'm not sure if it was because of the long wait, but the sandwich wasnot hot like I was expecting, and the jous on the side was not enough for the sandwich and also cold. However, the hamachi shotswe got as a starter we 're amazing. Our water server also suggested the brussel sprouts which did not disappoint so kudos tohim. All in all, it was a poor service experience and a lukewarm (literally) dining one. Besides the card, my mother in lawdidn 't get much for her birthday celebration but we did hear singing at other tables. On our way out, the place was close toempty and there were dozens of servers standing around chatting, eating, and preparing for dinner I suppose. But funnily, noneof them could help us out or even be on our side of the restaurant. For the price of the lunch (and $36 of water we didn 'texpect) I wouldn 't recommend going.

I'd give the deep fried crab meat a miss batter was a bit soft and I couldn't really taste the meat. The steaks were huge anddone well. The wagyus were immaculate but personally gets a little too oily after the 3rd bite. Prices were steep for asteakhouse and it is an indulgence. If the costs were reasonable, it would have easily been a 5 star. Service top notch!

I'm not one for tofu but I would say the tofu taco was good. The shrimp was good but I would havepreferred it warmer and maybe the sauce to have a lil spice. (Thats just me I like spicy food) The calamari was excellent thestaff that took care of us did a wonderful job. High 5 to (Mina and Amelia) The steak was just melt in your mouth delicious.Cooked perfectly just how I ordered it. The sides were good as well they paired well with the dish. I would definitely recommendthis place to anyone looking for a good steak in the Santa Clara area.
