It was a lovely gesture offering delicious focaccia and a desert complimentary. However as lovely as this was charging $59 for a Porterhouse steak with no sides ( just few chips) is way too pricey. The cut of meat was very chewy with plenty of veiny fatty bits.

We had a wonderful time here! The food was great and the service was awesome. The folks at Goon even helped explain how to eat certain dishes as we weren't Korean, so this helped! Thank you, Goon staff!
