Overall, it was OK. The ambiance was beautiful, but I think you're mostly paying for that. I had the Chilean Sea Bass ($58), which was great—crispy and tender. My husband had the Prime Ribeye ($81), but it had a lot of gristle, which isn’t acceptable at that price. The mashed potatoes ($18) were really good, and the pizza ($25) was great thin and crispy. We also had drinks at $25 each. For the cost, I was hoping for a bit more.
