    Poor atmosphere and ambiance for a steakhouse. Cocktails and steak were mediocre.

    Je voulais un restaurant halal et j’ai trouvé! Viande très bonne mais les prix sont tellement élevé. Avec 3 enfants c’est impossible de manger à -de 500$ minimum.

    Remote from busy 5th Avenue, we were very pleased to find this steakhouse. Welcome was warm, service was excellent and food up to our expectation. We opted for the 212 Premium Selection that includes an exclusive piece of Kobe beef. Portions were adequate with only regret that the piece of Kobe piece went too fast.

    Not at all impressed unfortunately. Staff brought both appetizer and side dishes that were not correct. When it was time to pay, it took at least 20 min for waiter to bring check.

    The selection of halal steak was the first perk. But after being seating and sipping my mocktail I was floored. The chargrilled oysters were amazing. The steak sauces were delicious and to add the cherry on top, the Creme Brûlée was chef's kiss. A 10/10 for sure. I can't wait to visit again. Thanks for making my 40th bday dinner 1 for the books.

    We ate dinner early, 6pm so noise level was moderate until dessert when it increased considerably. Apps and sides were very good and the steaks flavorful, tender and juicy as expected (I had the Wagyu ribeye, my friends had the NY strip), although I found prices to be high, especially considering no sides were included with the steak order. Service was attentive and timely. Ambience was nothing special. Overall a very good dining experience.
