The service, starters, dinner, bourbon flights, and wine were all good and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. However, the noise level was like a club and ridiculously loud — we’d have stayed for dessert t another drink but didn’t want to continue to yell across the table to one another.

We had scallops, cesar salad, oysters, wagyu beef & Aussie wagyu. Skip the Aussie wagyu— very fatty. Not like good wagyu. Scallops & salad were great. Oysters small.

Very good service. Timeliness of meals was exceptional. The sides were perfectly portioned to share amongst our table of 4. We had the carrots, brussels sprouts, and sweet potato au gratin. Steaks cooked to perfection. The garlic knots were delicious. I would return for sure!

We made reservations ahead of time but still got stuck in the weird tables by the front door. There was a draft and it was very bright in that spot which for paying so much I would hope to have a higher quality seating option off of a reservation.

We sat at the bar and we had multiple people waiting on us. They were very well coordinated and definitely worked as a team. They were always there when we were ready but never hovered or made us feel rushed. The food was terrific, as were the cocktails and wine.
