This place is fantastic! The food and service is five stars. Easy parking and on a cute street full of young people. It feels vibrant and Washington Prime feels cozy compared to other steakhouses. Save room for dessert … not your typical dessert menu … I’ve tried them all and they don’t disappoint. It’s worth every penny.

To be honest, I was quite disappointed. As the #1 steakhouse in Fairfield County and top in the state, the atmosphere was not high end feeling at all. I specified we were coming for our anniversary; we were seated next to the service area where all the plates needed to reset a table were. We decided to share the 22 oz ribeye, medium rare. It came raw, and we had to send it back. The $15 loaded baked potato was good but seriously, $15? It wasn't a huge potato. This was a pricey meal that wasn't a special experience and we likely will not return.
