Each steak is aged for a minimum of 28 days for a perfectly tender, juicy bite every time.It is our goal to give you a great meal every time you join us for lunch or dinner.

The best experience upon entry downstairs into the hotel to the restaurant until the end of dinner. Our server Ben was the absolute best. Greeted us by name, very attentive to our needs, fast service, great ambiance, the steak was so good & soft and moist. The Black Cadillac margarita was really good, we love how the chairs at the tables were turned towards the windows to enjoy the downtown Dallas views! We ran into a small issue with one of our filet mignon steaks but Ben and the manager Taylor were able to fix the issue. We will definitely be back and we will bring our friends and family!
