    Excellent service from our waiter,Frederico. The food, as usual, was well prepared. Our table had crabcake bites, shrimp tempura and fried shrimp and filet mignon. Steak was exactly medium rare as requested. We were in the main seating area so it was really loud. It is expensive, but worth it for the prime meat and fresh seafood.

    A very dated restaurant that has changed ownership or management. Not sure which. But you can tell the attention to detail and overall quality has suffered.
