    Filet mignon was mid, no flavor. The same goes for whipped potatoes. They were tasteless. The bearnaise sauce was good.

    Thanks for the review, Gaby! We're sorry to hear that our Filet mignon and whipped potatoes didn't meet your expectations. We take pride in our food quality and it's disappointing to hear that we fell short this time. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our bearnaise sauce though! We appreciate your feedback and will certainly use it to improve. We hope to have the chance to serve you better in the future. Thanks again for your review.

    We went here for my sister’s graduation, and were offered cake on the house which was nice. We were not very impressed by the service or the ambience as the place is a little run down. The food seemed overpriced as well. There are still some items on the menu that felt like the value was there but can’t say that for the steaks.

    The 9 oz Wagyu steak with cocoa and coffee rub, corn puree, and chimichurri was possibly the best steak I've ever had. They were also very accommodating to our party, which was me and my 8 yo son. They made him a burger even though it wasn't on the dinner menu, and got me a half portion of oysters and the creamed spinach. We finished the meal with a warm chocolate chip cookie in a skillet, topped with vanilla ice cream. We'll be back next time we're in Chicago for sure!
