    The best steak I ever had. I can't stand my steak to be pink in the middle. I've never had a well done. Juicy flavorful steak and that's what I had tonight. Our service was impeccable, parking $10 valet, quiet atmosphere inside the restaurant, and top 10 Mac and cheese in the country! The Louis Vuitton cake was a bougie bonus for me!

    Our party of 4 dined in a large booth adjacent to the bar. I expected it to be noisy but was pleasantly impressed with our ability to carry on a conversation. Our table service was top notch for this type of restaurant although the drinks were increasingly slow from the bar as the evening drew on. Our server was attentive but not pushy as we lingered over dinner. We started with the baked Brie appetizer and practically scraped the plate, it was so good. Three of us ordered the steak frites which was perfect! Small enough not to overwhelm our stomachs but flavorful and filling. The fourth person ordered the hot bacon salad which was a good portion for dinner and fresh and flavorful. We did not order dessert because we were well satisfied. Overall I started off skeptical and was impressed enough that we will return.

    We all really enjoyed our meal tonight. One note is that the ceilings are high and there were a bunch of kids in the lobby making a lot of noise. Otherwise food was great, service was great, bar was slow.
