Really nice restaurant, love the decor and overall atmosphere. All servers were absolutely lovely and attentive. They brought a complimentary little cheese and olive plate- with the most delicious marinated eggplant. We started with the Candian bacon which was delicious. I ordered the Land and Sea and a side of frizzled cauliflower. I have seen that other people didn't find the Land and Sea portion to be large enough, but I was quite satisfied and had to bring some of my filet home. It comes over a small bed of deliciously sautéed spinach, mashed potatoes and some zucchini. This was enough that I definitely didn't have to order an accompaniment, but the frizzled cauliflower is yummy and I have more of it to eat today :) My husband had the ribeye which he enjoyed and was a generous size (he also brought some home). He ordered a side of mashed potatoes which was was a good portion of two scoops. Too stuffed for dessert! I do recommend this restaurant and while steakhouses are always pricey, this is definitely more reasonable than any NYC steak restaurant. We will be back!
