    PERFECT...The staff went out of their way to present an outstanding evening. Very warm and friendly greeting upon arrival. Rose petals on the table as well as a small vase with a rose. Staff came right over and poured a complimentary sparkling wine. The service was outstanding. They never rush you in this restaurant. Live entertainment was great in the background. As always the food was very good. Ownership was present to make sure everything was going smoothly. Outstanding evening. I highly recommend this restaurant. We are looking forward to their upcoming "Steakhouse Wine Dinner". Thanks !

    This was our first visit to Steakhouse 85. We enjoyed the whole experience. The food, service, value and ambiance were top of the line. We were there on their Date Night. For $125 a couple, you get an appetizer, entree, desert and bottle of wine from their short list. The selections for Date Night gave us good choices and we chose things that we were going to order originally. I will definitely go back and highly recommend it!

    This was our first visit to Ficus. Great atmosphere as soon as you go up the stairs to the main part of the dining room. I was with 3 friends, all of us thoroughly loved our evening. The waitress was adorable and sweet. The food was delicious. Highly recommend the shrimp dumplings! We all had a different entree: Fettuccine Alfredo, Bolognese, Honey Miso Salmon and vegetable medley. We all loved our meals. We ended the evening trying 3 of the desserts— a MUST! All the desserts are made in house. They are divine! Chocolate Cake, Creme Brûlée and Yuzu Sorbet with fresh fruit….delicious and a perfect ending to our evening. Highly recommend this gem!
