Overall good experience, bit of a wait for our reserved table time and some timing/ pacing opportunities. Our server Wolf was positive and knowledgeable, food was top tier. The filet was done perfectly as was the half chicken. Sides and cocktails were +A!

The places was well appointed and ambience fitting. Low light was perfect for date night or outing with friends. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The food however was not great especially since the Wagyu is top of the line cut of steak. Overall beautiful place just the food could be better for that price point.

Went for my birthday! I have some conflicting thoughts but overall I enjoyed myself. Here’s some notes: Food: the food was good but not really worth the price, in my opinion. I’m new to caviar so I wanted to try out some of their standout dishes, like the jamon and caviar bites and the caviar pasta. Both had ostera caviar I believe. The caviar itself was fine, buttery and melts in your mouth with a hint of ocean. However with the ham bite I wasn’t impressed. The caviar pasta was very good I liked the lemon cream sauce with the caviar, even tho the caviar wasn’t strong in flavor I think it balances well. However for $75 I feel like you could skip this if you’re not a huge caviar fan. The French onion soup wasn’t the best. We sent it back. 7/10 Drinks: They did offer a nice welcome lemon drop cocktail which we enjoyed, and offered a zero proof alternative for those not drinking. 8/10 Dessert: The baked Alaska was my favorite dish and I’d come back for that alone, I enjoyed the presentation and the berry chocolate cake inside was great with the ice cream and meringue. 10/10 Ambiance: The best part was the live music, it made for a great ambiance. Overall I feel like this steakhouse is attempting to be a white table cloth dining experience that isn’t so pretentious and they achieved that, it’s a bit more casual than fine dining but the prices are a little high in my opinion, although not unexpected. 9/10 Service: our server was nice, he didn’t explain the menu, any of the items or give suggestions. He seemed a bit spread thin because we didn’t see him much and it took a while for us to order and get our food. We sat down at 6 pm and didn’t get our check until 9 pm so it felt longer than necessary to get all our food and finish eating. There also wasn’t many people there when we sat down so for it to take so long for the food was unexpected. But overall I’d give the service a 7/10 Overall experience 8.2/10 but I don’t see myself returning any time soon

The service was really good, but the food was a bit bland and the lobster Mac and cheese was ridiculously expensive.

This was my 5th or 6th time here. The service was a little slow. My fries came out before the meal and were cold. Then my crab pasta came out cold. The price on the house pasta with crab is expensive and should always be served perfect every time. My boyfriend was almost done eating by time the second plate came out. They did offer us a free dessert to split.

Overall, I enjoyed my experience. However, I did experience a few disappointments while dining. My partner and I went to try the highly rated lamb chops. After placing our order, the waiter came back to inform us that they were out of lamb chops for the evening. I was bummed. Our waiter did a great job at discussing alternative menu options and assisting with pairings. The wait time to receive our meal was incredibly long. We ordered around 7PM and did not receive our food until 830PM. The chef sent complimentary caviar due to this inconvenience. The complimentary lemon drops upon entrance was a bonus as well! I'd give my overall experience a 6 out of 10.
