    We didn’t go wrong with the recommended Sea Bass. Outstanding. The ambiance was great and the service was excellent. Highly recommend.

    I ordered the surf and turf, my steak was well done, I left a note on the receipt but didn’t send it back because I Wil rarely do that. They also forgot my blue cheese topping for the steak. We come here often and enjoy the place and usually have a great experience. The sewer smell outside is tough to get pass, we will be sitting inside next time.

    Been a few times now, seems like the food quality goes down each time. Steaks were dry.

    This is an old steak house with delicious bread but kind of old vibes and slow service.

    Food was very slow to come out. Had to ask the waiter about the delay. Once received it was all disappointing. Lobster tail was overcooked. Dry Aged $90 ribeye was tough, not marbeled, tender or seasoned and even charred on the outside. Baked potato was overdone. Mac and Cheese was only warm, not hot. Only thing goos was the bread and french onion soup. Very disappointing for a $400 dinner.

    Oh my goodness. The service and food was absolutely amazing. I was in the city for 5 days and ate here three times. I loved, loved, loved the place. You can’t go wrong with anything you order. The service is top notch.

    -Great location. Excellent food. Super busy. Fast service. -Server made the experience deplorable. They did not listen, mixed up drink order and receipts, double charged credit card. Manager had to intervene twice. For an upscale restaurant, saying sorry at every interaction, just wasn’t enough to overcome. I would return and hope the wait staff are properly trained to match the reputation of this lovely establishment.
