About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Romantic
We are a New York steakhouse with a twist. Our Executive Chef is the only one in Southern Connecticut to use the old world technique of skillet cooking; producing the most perfectly cooked steak. Besides our steak entrees, we also offer the freshest seafood, lamb and duck entrees, as well as daily specials prepared to perfection by our master chefs. All of our beef is perfectly aged and hand cut on the premises. We use only the finest ingredients, the freshest seafood and Prime Angus beef; each presented with simple elegance. Enjoy our homemade specialty breads and desserts.

***On Sunday, June 15, Father's Day, we will NOT be serving our brunch menu. We will be serving our regular menu without burgers. Thank you for your understanding.

    This was the first time for most of us and the experience was phenomenal. The restaurant came highly-recommended and did not disappoint...from the professional, friendly, and knowledgeable staff (all who kindly acknowledged the special graduation occasion we were there to celebrate), to Kate our server who was awesome from service/personality/recommendations standpoints, to the attentive yet not intrusive table service, and of course the food which was stunning. Incredibly and artfully prepared dishes that truly made for an incredible dining experience. Yes, it's pricey, but that's to be expected for all that the experience provides. We will certainly go back and absolutely recommend anyone looking for a true, full-service, exquisite dining experience to go here.

    Waiter didn’t seem like she wanted to serve us. Bad service on her end start to finish complained they were short staffed, but it wasn’t busy. Still tipped generously but likely won’t be back.

    Service was efficient not stellar. The food was as anticipated and was tasty and quickly served. The server brought the grinder for salt and pepper but did not offer to grind for us. That was a negative experience.
