    Service was great and the atmosphere was fun but $230 (including tip) for 2 people with no alcoholic beverages is pretty high. We had one appetizer, two entrees and two desserts.

    Wait staff provided excellent service. The decor beautiful. Food was overpriced and not great. I’ve eaten at restaurants with comparable prices for steaks and the steaks here did not compare.

    This place is wonderful, your lady will love the ambience and getting all pretty for dinner. The steaks are great and the drinks are solid. I advice not to overeat so you have room for the pink champagne cake.

    Made my wife's birthday dinner special. They went out of their way to make sure we were doing good and everything was OK. Brought out cake at the end for her it was huge! Prices are high, but the food was good. Overall, the kids and our family loved it.
