    How does a steak house have a pre-fix menu on Christmas and not offer steak as a main course choice. It was a $27 dollar up charge to make steak a choice. Your creamed spinach was HORRIBLE. Bluefin tuna cornet all you tasted was the sweet ice cream cone. The pave tots were a joke they were cold and tasted like plain boiled potatoe. Chocolate mouse was probably made three weeks in advance and the bottom cake part was like the bottom of my black dress shoes stiff. The steak was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The Ceasar salad was one of the best I’ve ever had. Baked Alaskan was great but then again my 9 year old daughter can make that with her eyes closed. I don’t mind paying for a good meal but it all better be on point.

    Incredibly attentive service and a delightful evening all around. Cocktail was perfect, great suggestions on the menu, and we felt very well cared for. Adjust the Caesar salad to your liking (ask for less lemon for a 2 person serving), pick your steak knife (NY and ribeye were both outstanding) and add the Mac and cheese!

    Booked the Rez based on an IG post. Venue is nice, low key elegance like you wouldn’t feel out of place dressed semi casual , piano player on site nice touch. The service was excellent. I recommend for the steak, as the sirloin and hamburger were excellently cooked. The French onion soup was tasty but had alot of mushrooms in it and very little onions and croutons. The braised short ribs, brussel sprouts, and mushroom gratin sides were only ok. The truffle Mac and Cheese were a little aldente for our taste. The dessert menu was not inspiring either.

    My boyfriend and I made a reservation after seeing them in Instagram. Loved the live piano music but we were sat very close to it so it was difficult to talk. The service took a while. If we go back we will probably just got for drinks and apps. We loved the oysters, rolls, and they had a variety of dips. The steak was nice but we were not overwhelmed.
