    It was an incredible experience. I selected this restaurant for my 50th birthday and I was amazing. The food was incredible. The service was outstanding a little bit expensive but for what it was, it was the perfect amount. I would definitely go there again.P

    Service was terrible from start to finish. Even With reservations and arriving on time does not matter the seatings horrible and very limited. Waiting for service for drinks over 20min another hr for ordering food. Very disappointing for our first time.

    One of the best Valentine's Day steak dinner! We started with the marinated octopus and tomato as the appetizer, followed by a main course of an 8 oz. Filet Mignon for each of us cooked to perfection covered with fresh shaved truffles, sides of creamed spinach and truffled mashed potatoes. This restaurant located in a strip mall in Lomita is a gem of a place! Service is very attentive, cozy atmosphere. They do not have a full bar, only wine, beer, and sake. Although it is a bit pricey, they have a much better quality overall than some of the other high end steak houses. They for sure are much better than Flemings which I feel has gone down hill in my many years of eating there. This will become my favorite steak house from now on! It is conveniently located with a great menu!

    Had a father/ daughter date, they actually read what I wrote and acknowledged our night of celebration . The food and service were amazing. If you are looking for a good steak dinner this is the place to come.
