Our steaks and lobster were to die for. The sides, spinach and loaded baked potato were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. My valentine expresso martini was delicious! Above all this was our attentive and kind waiter Matthew. Wonderful evening!

Always a wonderful experience. Charlize & Oscar did an outstanding job. Alex is the epitome of a great general manager. Shout out to the lemon wrapper! Excellence is in the details.

This is the second time we have been to dine there and the food is hit or miss. The ribeye steak was terrible! Thin, chewy and tough!

The hostess and floor manager were quick to adjust our seating from 6 to 4 when a couple could not attend at the last minute……which was great. The food itself was excellent, 4 different steak entrees + 4 different sides. The bread was served warm and was very nice as well. The service was the weakness of the outing, as the two waitstaff who handled our table appeared stretched very thin, and it showed. They were both very competent, but were obviously forced to handle more tables-diners than optimal. One bottle of $80 wine, 6 cocktails, one desert, and entrees + sides for a party of 4 totaled $625 before tip……so a $775 bill when I took care of the wait staff…….and the ambiance of a hotel banquet room.
