    What an amazing steakhouse! Tino at the bar is a drink specialist with awesome flair! Oscar was also very charming. The servers were warm and welcoming to my daughter and me. We had the BEST butter cake, suggested by our knowledgeable server, Harmony! Chef Eduardo M. even stopped by to ensure the birthday butter cake was excellent. Thank you very much! We will definitely return!

    I had the best time dining here before the show. Live music last night was fantastic. It was definitely busy and a full house. I thought the hostess was ok she didn’t make me feel very welcomed. Jordan our server was so polite and I loved how I never felt rushed during our dinner even though this was like the busiest time of the night. Mario is hands down the best employee there though, anytime he passed by he made sure we had everything we needed. We had the special pizza and it was so delicious I can’t wait to go back to try more stuff.

    All four of us enjoyed our food very much. The restaurant was full but not crowded and the servers were efficient and friendly. The decor is loud and busy with lots of lights. Well made cocktails and a very varied menu made for a great pre-theater evening.
