    All our meat orders were overcooked. This is not usually the case. They did not charge us for our steaks but it was still a disappointment and somewhat of a bummer on our daughters birthday celebration. With so many good places to get a good steak in the Buffalo area, I'm not sure we will be going back again.

    This has been my family’s go to “nice” restaurant for years. The steak was cooked perfectly which was very nice, however they changed the fries and they were crunchy & terrible. My guest’s placemat was falling apart on the corner and should have been thrown out and not used. After we payed our bill we continued to chat and we had empty water glasses for the rest of our evening while we sat next to empty tables. The single special sounds okay, but nothing else has improved on the menu. Looking for improvement for the price point.

    I ordered a $90 bone in 90 day dry aged Ribeye medium rare and it came out medium well. Not enjoyable at all. I am not one to send food back so they did not have a chance to make it right. I was with clients so I did not want to be that guy. Very disappointing.

    Everything was a good experience with the major exception being the quality of the steaks, which is a pretty big deal at a steak house. The rub way too salty and the medium rare steaks just were not tender and juicy. Our table of three had a very enjoyable Daou Cabernet, two filets and a ribeye along with calamari appetizer (the dipping sauce has a kick) and a couple of shared sides. Tab with tip was just north of $400 - the steaks made it a disappointing value.

    The lighting should be brighter, just a little shouldn’t have to use light on phone to read menu.Husbands steak was too salty, mine was bland because I asked for no salt, but thought there would be other seasoning was not.
