    If you stop by get a reservation and ask for Kimberly as your wait staff. Her personality and attention to detail was impeccable. I would come back for the oysters and the service alone.

    This was our first time here. We had the bread, wedge salad, prime ribeyes cooked to a perfect medium rare, mac and cheese, and a keylime pie for dessert. All were excellent and our server, Amanda, was wonderful. We would definitely come back again.

    All the trappings of a steakhouse, but the steaks themselves were just ok. No hard sear, under seasoned. Mine was over cooked and had to return it. The second wasn’t much better.

    This is one of my favorite places in San Diego, but they really dropped the ball Thanksgiving. Food was good but service really bad. Started off strong with cocktails and oysters but after we placed order for our entrees our server pretty much disappeared. Had to beg for everything else. A weird experience at what is normally top of the line.
