Would describe as "semi" fine dining. Curried carrots and green onions side was a bit spicy but that has to be expected with some curries. I don't usually order steak if not at an upscale steakhouse but saw recommendation praising the 30 day aged NY Strip Steak so took the chance and have to say it was excellent....good aged flavor, tender and perfectly prepared. the rhubarb cheesecake was beautifully presented but felt the rhubarb topping could have been cooked a bit more to make it less crispy or perhaps that was intended but I prefer rhubarb softer. Over all a good experience.
