    large filet was Perfect. NY was a bit overdone, it is a thin cut, get med rare not medium as server recommended. martinis and oysters were a very nice start. for sides can not recommend the broccoli dish, on the dry side but… carrots wow! beet salad wow! and mashed were all super delicious. Would definitely go back for these and a great steak.

    Hands down best steak house ever. Way better than Ruth Chris and Mastro’s. If you’re a steak lover, order their Lord Stanley. Their medium is “medium rare” at other steak houses. So remember to confirm with your server when you order it. But yes!!! Hands down best steak I’ve ever had!!! Amazing dessert too!!

    We are inside, downstairs in the bar. Food was delicious. The Banana Foster is a must for dessert.

    Our first visit, we anticipated an expensive but memorable meal in an elegant setting. Instead, we were greeted by a cold “Can I help you?” and seated in a plastic covered porch. Heated, but next to the open door and a cold breeze. The salad and soup were very good, but the soft white bread was uninteresting. My medium rare filet mignon was overcooked, as was my wife’s halibut, which was rubbery. The waiter, Miguel, was fine but seemed distracted. We won’t be back.

    Everything was wonderful. We especially enjoyed the slow braised ravioli, Caesar Salad, Mac and Cheese was mind blowing, mashed potatoes and Wagyu Steak. Parking was easy, noise level was pleasant and the staff were very nice.

    What a lovely special occasion spot by the beach! The beet "ravioli" salad was pretty as a picture, but the seasonal (butternut squash) and daily (broccoli) soups were standout stars too.
