The meal was well-prepared, but unfortunately, the steak was overcooked. The drink selection was good, and the restaurant wasn't busy. The staff was friendly.

The pricing for steaks from the meat selection was unclear, and we were not informed of the expensive prices or weights as we made our selection. We were shocked when we received the bill. The noisy air conditioning made it difficult to have a conversation until it was finally turned off. The plain table chairs were adorned with cheap, printed table sets. Overall, it was a very expensive and terrible experience. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone and suggest finding a better dining option in Emerald where you can get a nice meal for half the price.
