    We had our Christmas dinner here. The staff was outstanding. Our waiter was attentive and kind. There was a female staff member that came over and gave my 5 yr old a Christmas coloring page and crayons. The atmosphere is chill and nice. The food was good. The scallops were amazing. Recommend for sure.

    Food and services were also excellent! The only issue was the a/c wasn’t working well and with the grill going it was made the experience for us to feel hot and sweaty during the meal!

    I’m admittedly, somewhat of a steak snob and I’m very hard to please. The steak at Stripsteak however was wonderful - perfectly seasoned and cooked, and the beef quality was incredible. The A5 wagyu was a little rich for me personally, but the Washugyu Ribeye was perfection. We also loved the ahi crudo roll appetizers- a must get. The hamachi and ahi tacos were also pretty good. Service was very good and professional. However, one comment I would make is that I ordered an expensive glass of Opus One to accompany dinner and they should have brought the bottle to the table and poured it in front of me. However, that was not rhetorical case. For high-end wine and alcohol, it should be presented in the bottle.
