The place is cute but the steaks are frankly not very good, and they try to make up for it with an extensive selection of sauces. Folks, when a steak is good it does not need any sauce, just salt and pepper. Both the ribeye and filet mignon were supposed to be medium-rare but turned out medium; they were also not properly seared, with a slightly boiled-like texture which indicates too low cooking temperature.
