    The service was exceptional—our server took the time to thoroughly explain each dish on the menu, making the experience feel personal and engaging. Honestly, he sold the menu so well that I was tempted to order everything! The food itself was absolutely incredible; each dish surpassed my expectations. I can't wait to return and explore more of what this amazing restaurant has to offer

    Was sat in a secluded back room far away from any of the main dining areas for some reason. It was only 2 of us, we could’ve fit anywhere. Nobody else was being sat there. It was dark lonely and depressing- we were constantly asked if we wanted a to go box from the moment we got the complimentary bread appetizer. We felt rushed to leave even though our reservation was at 9:30 so it wasn’t closing time yet. Overall not worth the price at all and a sad birthday celebration experience.

    It's my second time going to this place, and it's fantastic. I wish we could have sat by the pool area, but it was a minute's reservation. I'm definitely going again soon.

    We cannot stop eating here! Not inexpensive but, the service is impeccable and the food is always delicious!The house rolls have a shameful amount of butter in them. More butter than flour really. Not to be missed. We’ve ordered the filet a few times. Great quality meat and flavor. Not sure I love the 1000 degree plate it’s served on only because it does continue to cook the meat. You must be extra careful as well to not burn yourself. Sautéed shrimp appetizer has just 4 jumbo shrimp for $45…again not inexpensive, however the chef must sprinkle some magic in there because it’s worth the money. Speaking of the chef, we ordered his signature au gratin potatoes with Gruyère and mozzarella. Very good. Just the right amount of cheese. Tasty. Chocolate bombe (spelling?) dessert..to die for. If you eat at the bar at the Fashion Island location, Jack is the best! He’s so knowledgeable on every dish, funny and kind.
