We ordered prime rib, medallions, mashed potatoes and broccolini. Prime rib had a nice char on it. Medallions were ok. The sides lacked flavor and our food was lukewarm when we were served. Service was very attentive. Ambience is what was expected. I’m not sure we would return.

Been waiting to try this place since tasting their food during the Taste of the Gaslamp a few months ago. Everything was so good. We sat in the bar at a high top, which is how we roll anyway. We shared the teriyaki filet tips, my husband had the crab cakes and I had the pan seared macadamia halibut, both exceptional as well as we shared the Mac and cheese as our side. We left so satisfied and full. No room for dessert this time, but definitely will return and try some other items but will try to sit outside to take in the whole downtown vibe!

Libbey was our server and she was wonderful. Steaks were cooked perfectly and the crab cake was the best we’ve ever had. Great experience overall!

First time I’ve had dry aged steak I think it’s a game changer. The butcher bread was crazy good it almost taste like grilled cheese.
