Been there few times. Steaks are fantastic. Cut to the chase here the food is fantastic and the chef uses great ingredients to produce a party of flavors in every dish. Service and execution was good. Only issue is my warm chocolate cake desert was cold inside and I told waiter. He didn’t say anything and walked away but I assume (hope) he told someone to watch out about heating the deserts in future. The food is great and I recommend this place if you like chefs that take a risk and hit a home run.

Fabulous Saturday night dinner with the family. We had the dry aged porterhouse for two and the wet aged bone in ribeye. Everything was cooked to our request: medium rare. Steaks were flavorful and tender. We enjoyed the cream spinach, steak fries and broccoli. Our waitstaff Danielle and Santiago were wonderful and attentive!
