    Our family of 6 has diverse tastes so we sampled the variety of options, including various cuts and types of steak, lobster, and fish, as well as sides and desserts. The steaks were truly cooked to perfection, the fish exceptional and the lobster tasty. Side (truffle fries) were amazing as was the dessert (wonderful, multilayer chocolate cake that was comped as we were celebrating a birthday) and creme brûlée (truly melts in your mouth...perfect consistency) ! Bravo on the food! Service was very good, and likely perfect if you are all adults conducting some business or chatting on the side; however, with 3 teens instructed not pull out their phones, it would have been nice to have shorter gaps in service (seating to menus, menu to drinks to bread, dinner to dessert; dessert to check). A lovely meal and time; we will be back (sans teens)! Bravo!
