The dining experience fell short of expectations. Waitress was nice and efficient, however, the food quality was subpar, resulting in significant disappointment, especially given our intention to celebrate a birthday with a neighborhood restaurant.

The food was perfect, simply delicious, the chef did great. Our server was a bit distracted, kept forgetting stuff and brought our apps just as the food was coming out. Refills have to be requested and still took long to get them. Kid-friendliness: Yes Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

Super club feel steak house. Everything was good just not great. Food Wasn’t disappointed but also wasn’t wowed. Atmosphere need to separate the bar and restaurant noise better. Bar is loud and sitting near it caused problems hearing across the table. Service never offered water and the table was always filled with finished dishes. We had to start stacking them just to have room. Will try this place again but don’t know when. Food: 4
