    This is a review for dining upstairs. We were seated immediately upon arrival on a Tuesday at 7:15pm. The service and food were excellent. We were greeted at our table quickly, offered water, and provided menus. Soon after that, our drink orders were taken. Our appetizer and dinner orders were taken upon receipt of our drinks. The plates and utensils were replaced for every course of the meal. While the water glasses on the table were small, the staff was very attentive to keeping them full. The area in which we were seated had several other full tables, but I didn't find it to be loud or disruptive to our own table conversation. The lighting was low, with a tea light at each table, but I was still able to read the menu without issue. Overall it was an excellent dining experience for a date night. We will return.

    The staff was great and very friendly. We had to get to a comedy show and we were running a little behind and they made sure to get us in and out. The food and drinks were great

    This was our first visit to Steakhouse 85. We enjoyed the whole experience. The food, service, value and ambiance were top of the line. We were there on their Date Night. For $125 a couple, you get an appetizer, entree, desert and bottle of wine from their short list. The selections for Date Night gave us good choices and we chose things that we were going to order originally. I will definitely go back and highly recommend it!

    This was our first visit to Ficus. Great atmosphere as soon as you go up the stairs to the main part of the dining room. I was with 3 friends, all of us thoroughly loved our evening. The waitress was adorable and sweet. The food was delicious. Highly recommend the shrimp dumplings! We all had a different entree: Fettuccine Alfredo, Bolognese, Honey Miso Salmon and vegetable medley. We all loved our meals. We ended the evening trying 3 of the desserts— a MUST! All the desserts are made in house. They are divine! Chocolate Cake, Creme Brûlée and Yuzu Sorbet with fresh fruit….delicious and a perfect ending to our evening. Highly recommend this gem!
