The dining experience here is nothing short of exceptional, with outstanding service that perfectly complements the superb cuisine. The decor and ambiance transport you to a quintessential steakhouse setting, blending timeless charm with a contemporary twist—exposed brick and a lofty industrial aesthetic set the stage beautifully. The cocktail menu deserves special praise, with the Mezcal Old Fashioned standing out as a true masterpiece—a smoky, nuanced twist on the classic that’s worth savoring. As for the star of the meal, we indulged in the dry-aged New York strip sirloin, expertly prepared to a flawless medium. The steak was a revelation, its tender richness melting like butter with each bite. Though I typically gravitate toward a ribeye, this strip was a compelling choice that did not disappoint. Every detail, from the ambiance to the culinary execution, reflected a thoughtful commitment to quality, making this steakhouse an unforgettable experience.

Our first time and not disappointed. The food was like my mom’s. Delicious. Our server was accommodating to our needs and advised to try their carrot cake. It melted in our mouth. Will come again and bring friends. The only disappointment was I couldn’t get up and dance!
