    Ruben was our server and he was so nice & pleasant. Funny charismatic guy! I learned I’m not a fan of bone marrow. It was very gooey and oily. The tomahawk steak was superb! Veggies were veggies, simple. The 3 kinds of salt were so good. Oysters were the BEST I’ve ever had. They sampled a Wagyu chimichiri on a spoon that I would alone go back for

    Disappointed with the steak. The amuse bouche was tasty but the rest just ok; it was not anything special. The food at Seastar was much better.

    The good nice clean place. Excellent servers. The bad- way overpriced steaks. My Porterhouse was $138 without any sides. I ordered it medium rare and it came blue rare. It was also quite tough and too salty. I returned it complaining how under cooked it was and obviously not medium rare. I expected a new steak but they just cooked it some more and said the cooking would tenderize it. The recooked steak was medium rare but still tough. My wife's 8oz tenderloin was good- cooked correct but very expensive. The twice baked potato was excellent and the mushroom side was good but very small portion. The server asked if we wanted some bread and we said ok. The bread basket was quite good but they ended up charging us $11 for the basket which we assumed was complementary. $10 draft beer and $20 small pour wine. Crazy big bill for average steaks.

    The service is exceptional . The ambiance is great. The food was good but not excellent. I had a salmon dish that was not that great. The flavors surrounding the salmon seemed very confusing to my palate. There was some type of salad over the salmon as it layers in a carrot puree with fingerling potatoes and green olives. My husband had a Wagyu ribeye which was tasty but again not excellent as one would expect at this type of restaurant. But service was of course exceptional. Also to note,, Server offered to give me a different dish but I declined. Overall I would recommend

    Overall the experience was great. There were a few minor items but none that impacted the experience. Our server was top notch and a pleasure interacting with. The drinks were splendid and the desserts were great. It’s lovely coming in and being treated so kindly and warmly.

    Our experience started out good and it went from good to bad in a hurry we got to our reservation on time and the first two courses came out in normal time and we waited over an hour for our entrée to come and we left the restaurant at 8:45 without even an opportunity to have dessert the service was very poor and slow, and no one absolutely seemed to care It’s very expensive of restaurant for what we got and we will never return.
