Very nice experience! The food was excellent. Emmanuel and the staff were very good, welcoming, friendly and appropriately attentive. (Not overbearing, but there when needed with excellent insight to the food and wine, and some interesting history on the location) This is definitely a top shelf experience and steak house. I highly recommend it for a great night out.

We had a great experience for Valentines Day. The atmosphere, service, food and music were outstanding. The Sax performance throughout the dinner was very pleasing and he engaged with us all while he walked around and played. We ate the Valentine’s menu and it was really good. The only thing was, we were not able to substitute the dessert with another. We are not big Tiramisu so we wanted to substitute it, but the Valentine menu was set and there was no substitutes. However I would still rate 5stars. We will be back. Thank you to our waiter Sean and staff.

My wife and I went in for Valentines Day and everything was on point! The service Lindsey provided was great and the food that was recommended was just as good. We had drinks, appetizers (the oysters and scallops were 10/10), entrees and dessert. This was our first time visiting but definitely will not be the last!
