    Party of 4 - all ordered different steaks with one ordering prime rib. The steaks, steak tips, and prime rib, were outstanding. Service was very attentive.

    It’s good food. Not $50 for a steak good. When you order medium rare it needs to melt in your mouth. Two different cuts did not meet this criteria. At this price point I’m expecting to be absolutely floored with flavor and tenderness. Not so much. Sides are good. Drinks strong and well made. Service was great until one of our party ordered a second draft beer and it did not arrive until towards end of meal after a reminder to our server. I’d skip here and head elsewhere for the money.

    Wonderful service and delicious food. We did sit in the bar area, which is louder than the main dining room. It was fine for our group, but something to note.

    Great dining experience, but very expensive for what you get. Dinner for six with a few drinks was $575.

    Second time visiting this establishment. It was as good as the first visit. We were there to celebrate a birthday (along with several others!) The salmon entree was extremely good. Kate, our server, was very good and helpful with making our decision. It was another great experience and will visit again.
