It was a set menu - $170 for two for a starter, main course and dessert. The food was mediocre and not worth the money. I got the NY strip. Huge steak with potatoes and cooked chard or kale. Too much food and did not need dessert, but could not buy a la carte unless we wanted to sit at the bar. The ambiance was lacking as well. The waiter was attentive. That was the best part.

From the seating hostess to the wait staff, the service was great. There was more food than the 2 of us could eat in one seating so we had leftovers for another meal. I will definitely return to this location which is convenient and easily accessible from 285.

Always love coming here. Great menu. One we have been very familiar with for many years going back a long, long ways with the Fifth Group. Back to the earliest days on Crescent - or at the Food Studio! Consistently great and professional service. Server Taeja was excellent. Great place. I wish we were closer so we could come more frequently.

Love this location! Lots of parking, spacious and the staff was very accommodating. We celebrated a birthday and they made everything extra special including a personalized greeting on the printed menu, a nice photo to commemorate the special day and a birthday dessert. I also wanted to thank the kitchen and wait staff for accommodating a nut allergy. Reservations were super easy and the hostess seated us right away. And the food? Topnotch of course. Our waitress' recommendations were spot on. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
