The restaurant staff easily accommodated the requests I made in advance for a birthday toast surprise and were very communicative about it. The ambiance is lovely and there was a moderate noise level due to a huge party of people sitting near us, but it wasn't unpleasant. Normally, I don't think it would be quite so loud anyway. The food was unbelievably good and exceeded our high expectations, making the drive into the city so worth it. The prices aren't bad compared to a similar-type steakhouse in NJ that we visit frequently. Lastly, our waiter Oscar's service was award-worthy. If there were Oscar awards for excellence in hospitality service, he would win! We will be back!

We had the octopus as an appetizer, and it was so soft. It was amazing! We had the Porterhouse for Two with lobster Mac and the creamed spinach… it was mouthwatering. The steak was made to perfection. We definitely enjoyed our time and he enjoyed his birthday dinner.

Luckily for us, there were 4 items that were halal including the Sirloin and the t-Bone. Both Wagyu and both delicious. We also loved the broccoli which was infused in garlic and olive oil. So good! Definitely will go back, especially for the Sirloin! So so good!

It’s not one of these giant places with hundreds of tables so you get personalized service. We had the Kobe steak and it was excellent. They do need to update the online menu as they have changed from kosher steaks to Halal steaks also available in addition to regular steaks. The tuna crudo was excellent, the onion soup good and thick.
