Second time here! My scallops and risotto were delicious. Staff attentive and work as a team so you always feel seen. The spacing between tables is so appreciated and priceless in my opinion. Privacy to have conversation without worrying about those nearby is a gift. This will be a regular go to spot for us.

The wedge salad - one of my favorites- was mostly leaf - not the hearts Steak was good 1 not great by any means Lobster tail was okay - not for $45 Ambience was 5 stars and service was 4-5 Food was okay ... which would be okay if it was less expensive If I'm going to pay $250 for 2 people - no appetizers or booze - the food needs to be spectacular This was not Do not recommend Will not be back

Great location and ambiance, the steak was just ok, no real flavor, which is surprising for being a steak house. The meatballs were amazing, a little pricey for what you are getting

Excellent at every level! First time there tonight, Super Bowl night, so the restaurant was pretty empty which was fine! Delicious food, awesome service in a beautiful decor.

Service was excellent. Cocktails were perfect. Seafood tower was decent. Medium rare steak was medium. If you're a premium steakhouse, you just can't get that detail wrong. Ever.

Our sincerest apologies Douglas. We work very hard to get the steak temperatures correct, but we do make mistakes. I hope you were offered a new one from your server or manager on duty. If you weren't please reach out to me at the restaurant so we can make things right for you. Brian Cullina, General Manager
