All of our beef is sourced from Meat N’ Bone, one of the world’s finest butchers.Our menu includes G1 Certified Beef, USDA Prime Dry Aged Beef and Wagyu of all grades: Wagyu-Angus, Domestic Wagyu, Australian Wagyu and Japanese Miyazaki-Gyu. Even our non-beef products are amazing: Colorado Lamb, Ora King Salmon, AAA Tuna, African Tiger Prawns, etc...Our Beer, Wine and Sake selection is small but LEGENDARY.Come in Lunch or Dinner. We are friendly... except when it comes to Vegans. I mean, we like all kinds of people... we just don't have a lot to serve those who eat the foo

Second time going to this restaurant, this last time was not the best. The meats served had no real taste and the whole time i was there, i was mainly only served lamb even though i paid for the full experience of multiple meats available.

We had a wonderful outdoor dining experience here with an attentive server and excellent food. The only negative on the food was that the Greek salad was advertised as having olives and it had none because the restaurant was out of olives. We could’ve been told that at the time we placed our order. The portion size was Substantial. With the temperature in the upper 70s, it was a perfect evening to dine outdoors.
