Waited 30 minutes past reservation for table. Service was slow. Steaks were just OK. Worth it to spend a bit more for a steakhouse with proper service. Will not be back.

Excellent food, great service. Everything is fantastic and always delicious. Quality is consistent. Tango Sur and Folklore (owned by the same people) are my absolute top recommendation for a steak dinner for special occasion.

We had a fantastic meal sharing a steak for two and the delicious frittata Style appetizer which is made to order and takes about 10 minutes fresh. The wine list has a nice selection along with fun cocktails and beer and corkage for special bottles is only $20. We were very full before dessert but we're very impressed by the dessert presentation tableside and think folks who are into dessert should definitely take a look. The only issue with noise was the high ceiling and hard surfaces in the room which was great for half our meal and very loud for the other half because of the large party with guys who had deep loud voices the manager was very sensitive to the noise and was even adjusting the music in the room to get things a little more reasonable.

The food taste was amazing. However, it took us an hour to be able to put our order in, as our server was busy. He forgot a couple of our drinks and the orders were put in incorrectly. My drink also did not have enough ice as it was warm and then the potatoes were served barely room temperature.
