    Unfortunately the food was not very good. Dinner for 2 with one alcoholic drink was $220 with a $50 tip. Better options in the valley. Steak was tasteless.

    It’s a fantastic experience from the time they greet you til the time you leave. It’s small but quaint. The service is wonderful and the food is just amazing. It’s no pricier than any other high end steak house.

    The food and service was very good. Biggest drawback was that they sat us at a table right by the kitchen door. Started to feel like we were in the kitchen.

    The total bill came to $176.00 no tip, w/tip $221.00 - two steaks a filet (8oz) and a skirt steak, app. clams casino, creamed spinach shared between two and 2 glass of wine $15 each. I'm sorry your "meal" food wasn't memorable, I can make filet's better at home and I have. You charge Ruth Chris/Morton's/Eddie Merlot prices but the tastes didn't deliver. You need to improve on that thus why you ask for reviews. The place is beautiful, wait staff is great the food was so so... not to $$$ breakfast the next morning (Buffet) at Skyline Kitchen was better than dinner the night before.

    Had a wonderful meal, great service and the atmosphere was beautiful. It was very strange that we walked through the kitchen to get to our table but that was the only hiccup. We had two children (10,13) with us and they were able to order from a kids menu and were welcomed there. Very nice experience for a special Christmas gathering!

    We were sat next to a swinging kitchen door where we got to listen to employees shouting at each other and swearing. It did not create the atmosphere one would expect when paying 147 dollars for a 30 ounce Tomahawk. I had a Cesar Salad 17, shrimp cocktail 25, mushrooms 18, steak 147 one glass of red wine 19. 220 dollars with tax 270 with tip. Honestly I could have gone to a Longhorn had 2 outlaw bone in ribeyes 40 ounces for under 70 dollars and probably less staff swearing from the kitchen. This is an overpriced hard skip.😘

    Although the food was good, it was terribly overpriced. Prices on the menu is for your choice of meat only. Everything is extra. And what you got was not presented in a very artistic manner, as you would expect for their prices. Very dark atmosphere. Not worth it. They have aways to go to command those prices.
