    From the moment it hit the table, the ribeye looked like a showstopper—beautiful char on the outside, perfectly pink center (I ordered medium rare), and a sizzling aroma that made it hard not to dive in immediately. Taste: Incredibly juicy and packed with deep, beefy flavor. You can really tell this is USDA Prime and aged—the marbling melts right into the meat, giving each bite that buttery, rich texture you want in a top-tier steak. Texture: Soft enough to cut with a fork, with a gorgeous crust on the outside. They nailed the sear. Worth it? At $68, it’s not cheap, but it’s not trying to be. This is steakhouse quality through and through—bold, indulgent, and perfect for a splurge night. Tip: Ask for it with their chimichurri or house steak sauce if you want to elevate it even more And for the supreme burger This isn’t your average burger—it’s a stacked beast of a meal, built with a ribeye patty that tastes more like steak than ground beef. Loaded with crispy beef bacon, caramelized onions, creamy avocado, coleslaw, and a crispy onion ring—all tucked in a fresh bun—it hits every flavor note. Taste: Savory, sweet, crunchy, creamy—it’s all there. The beef bacon adds a smoky edge, and the coleslaw gives it a cool crunch that balances the richness of the burger. Size: It’s huge. Definitely a two-hander, and almost too good to share (but also totally shareable if you’re splitting apps). Price: $39 may seem like a lot for a burger, but honestly? It’s one of the most flavorful, satisfying kosher burgers I’ve had. Comes with fries, which are crispy and nicely salted—nothing fancy, but a solid side

    The afternoon tea was amazing. Each course was delicious and the selection of teas was fantastic. We loved the “bird cage” presentation of the desserts - very unique. Live piano music as well as views of the ocean were spectacular. Our server, Mihaela, was outstanding! Could not fault her - professional, friendly and went above and beyond.
