Welcome was warm, service was excellent and food up to our expectation. We opted for the 212 Premium Selection that includes an exclusive piece of Kobe beef. Portions were adequate with only regret that the piece of Kobe piece went too fast.

The chargrilled oysters were amazing. The steak sauces were delicious and to add the cherry on top, the Creme Brûlée was chef's kiss. A 10/10 for sure. I can't wait to visit again. Thanks for making my 40th bday dinner 1 for the books.

Apps and sides were very good and the steaks flavorful, tender and juicy as expected (I had the Wagyu ribeye, my friends had the NY strip), although I found prices to be high, especially considering no sides were included with the steak order. Service was attentive and timely. Ambience was nothing special. Overall a very good dining experience.
