Steaks were fantastic and the heated salt block is a unique experience. The side dishes, risotto and Mac and cheese lobster were served cold and therefore were not great. Otherwise the flavors of both sides were good.

We had a Foie Gras appetizer that was unrecognizable. The Clams Linguine tasted a bit off. The linguine was actually crunchy…..more than just a little under done. 2 entrees came to the table 10 minutes apart.
