In Short
With a decor of dark wood, leather upholstery and soft lighting, this clubby steakhouse has a warm, upscale feel. The menu's focus is prime beef (aged up to four weeks), from bone-in rib eye and filet mignon to New York strip drizzled with bearnaise sauce. Classic seafood offerings include lobster tails, steamed crab legs and wild Alaskan salmon; sides, served a la carte, include baked potato and chipotle mac and cheese.

The steak was top notch and the server was very attentive. The wine list was also a pleasant surprise, extensive and reasonable. I will be back quite often. Thanks!

We were early for our reservation. The staff set us up and seated us within 20 minutes almost 20 minutes before our reservation. Nice job. The waiter was great, gave us plenty of attenion, The service was excellent. Thats where it ends. The room is very dark, maybe great for dates but not for a party of 6 guys. It was difficult to read the menu due to the lack of light. The meal Started with Wicked Cajun Shrimp. Nothing special here. A hint of heat and spice but basically warm shrimp Next the Cesar salad the lettuce was crisp but the flavors were not robust. It was good, not great but good. The 20 ounce bone in New York strip I ordered rare , the waiter double checked and explained rare to me. I confirmed the order of rare. I liked the fact the waiter checked. The steak came out as ordered. it was cooked excellent. Its too bad the meat had no flavor at all. For 44 dollars it should have been mouth watering, it wasn't! With the steak I ordered a baked potato, it was huge and opened in a zig zag pattern accompanied with a plate of bacon bits, sour cream, butter and cheddar cheese. It is sad to say this was the high point of the meal. The meal was so average I decided to skip dessert but did have a double shot espresso. The espresso was done well and had the most flavor of the evening. The done side was it was served in a 12 ounce coffee cup. No where does it look good to serve something half full. I read the other reviews here and was wondering if we ate in the same restaurant. After I spend 150.00 plus tip and parking and to only recieve an average meal ? I could have had a similar meal at outback for 40.00. Sorry I would not suggest this restaurant and would not return. When dining out the meal should be better then what I could prepare at home, this was not. I want to repeat the wait staff and hostess staff were excellent. Due to the average food I can only say 1 star
Pros: Service excellent
Cons: Average overpriced food, dark room , no where to put the menu while having appetizers
