    Always good. Can’t go wrong with Petit Filet, Creamed Spinach and Sweet Potatoes Soufflé. Bread pudding a little heavy and dry BUT Crème Brûlée outstanding!

    For my taste the steak was too salty. You can't take that away without adding sugar and I don't need the calories! Noisy venue. Service was great! Not romantic(noise), a steak house.

    The steak was a 7 out of 10 a little bit under seasoned for my liking. Very well cooked though. The shrimp appetizer was a 6 out of 10 the bacon wrapped around the shrimp was burnt and the shrimp itself was not seasoned well. The garlic mashed potatoes were gummy but you can’t really screw up potatoes so I just added some extra butter.

    This was our second visit. The first was worse but warranted a return because we kept hearing positives anecdotally. And because we genuinely enjoy Desi Vega owned by the same people. The house salad was good not special but decent. The service was perfunctory and inconsistent. The onion soup had been souped up ( I couldn’t resist. ) and was both spicy and too salty. Finally, the rib eye steaks were at best mediocre having both of us musing that our own bought at Rouses would have been better and definitely cheaper.
