    Seated right away at the specific time of my reservation. Service was top notch. Food was prepared properly and arrived within a reasonable amount of wait time. Couldn't ask for anything better.

    Steak was excellent. The green goddess salad was also noteworthy. It was my husband's favorite part of the meal. Everything else felt mediocre. The 90s music blaring in house was not in line with the vibe of the restaurant. It honestly made us feel it cheapened the experience. There should be more variety in the appetizers and sides. The service was fine but it took 20 minutes for my husband to get a cup of coffee and everything was drawn out a little too long. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and did get a dessert as well as champagne since we were newlyweds. But I don't think we will be rushing back anytime soon.

    The steak was ridiculously over priced. The “bone in Ribeye” was $62 and was tiny. While the flavor was good it looked like something you’d order at a cheap steakhouse. It was probably 8oz with the Bone at best. Perhaps we went too late ( 8:45pm) but the place was empty. Our waiter was very friendly however to place was way overpriced for what you got. Priced like a premium steakhouse but serving Western Sizzlen looking Ribeye for $62.

    Love steak and the fillet and 100 day aged ribeye were delicious. Service was awesome our server was charming and witty. We enjoyed her so much. The sides were so so. Wine list was sad. But the big detractor was the yelling that could be heard coming from the kitchen. Very unprofessional. If you go to this restaurant, ask for seating far away from the kitchen.

    Food was solid, but it looks like they ran out of money when they designed the inside. Gimmick 950$ knife was odd. The bill was equivalent to other white tablecloth steakhouses that you should just go to instead.

    I rarely rate restaurants, but got this pop-up from OpenTable so why not. This place is "just ok". Obviously price isn't everything and I expected to pay a premium here, but the food was just so-so, and the service, was something similar to what you would expect at Denny's. Yes, we ordered the tomahawk medium rare but the meat was lukewarm at best. We ordered the ribeye medium and it came out well done like you would expect at the aforementioned Denny's or a Sizzler's. The service? I don't even recall her name. She always seemed in a rush to leave and didn't really even look after our table. Look, I get it that maybe waiting tables isn't your dream job, but if I'm tipping you on a relatively high dollar total, it would be nice if the service didn't make us feel like we were walking on eggshells when we wanted to ask a few questions about the menu. I'm probably not explaining our interactions succinctly, but while she had a smile on her face, her demeanor was icy cold. And sure, I know that we aren't at some gimmicky chain restaurant with singing, but why bother to confirm that we are celebrating a birthday if you don't even wish him 'happy birthday'. So, to sum it up, APL, if your goal was mediocrity; congratulations! You did it!
