                                                      The service was outstanding. The vegetable were undercooked and hard to cut. The steak was delicious, but definately not 6oz. It was a small lump, about 1/3 the size of my palm. It should be about the size and thickness of your palm, or 170 gram. Other than that we love dining there.
