    Ordered over $1,000 worth of food and drinks. This was our third visit. We ordered three different Wagyu beef orders (3oz) each. Cost per order was $150-$210. The first order was the Olive Wagyu, I kid you not 1/3 of the order was tough chewy fat, almost cartiledgy. I showed them, they didn’t car. No discount, no free appetizer. $50 portion just tossed. The rest was OK. Not going to be coming back. Sorry guys.

    The service was excellent, the food was perfectly done. We celebrated a birthday and the table had rose petals and we were served a very large piece of New York cheesecake. The Steak Library is a wonderful place for a celebration.
