    You pay a lot, you get a lot: it's a high end steakhouse.The meat is excellent and well prepared and presented. There is the usual range of other stuff and sides/salads etc. if you don't want meat. So check their menu if you are considering but want something besides red meat. The service was also terrific. I have 2 criticisms, which many will take issue with. First, portion sizes are huge, ridiculously (imo) so. I don't get it, although it may have something to do with economics: you occupy a table for 2 hours, so they have to charge more to make it work economically, so they provide huge portions to make you feel it's worthwhile. I suppose that's the American way. Second, it was rather noisy and difficult to hold a conversation at times. This was of course due to the fact that they were packed, even on a Tuesday night, which tells you something. Also, I'm old, so perhaps somewhat aurally challenged. Enjoy.

    We love this place- a nice hidden gem in downtown WC. We love sitting at the bar and Lucas is great- very knowledgeable and an experienced bartender. They had a three course prefix for Valentines Day which was a little pricey but delicious nonetheless. We just wish they still offered their delicious homemade bread during the prefix. One of our favorite date night locations- we’ll be back!
