The food was excellent, and the service was quite satisfying. The atmosphere was great—lively and stylish. The noise level was moderately high, more than what you’d expect from a traditional steakhouse, but it matched the trendy, hip vibe of the restaurant.

We were there on Taco Tuesday very busy. We had reservations seated in a timely manor but our service was slow. Not sure if it was because it was a busy night or it's the norm. This was our first time. The food was good and reasonably priced.
