The staff was friendly and attentive from the moment I walked in the door. (Ask for Shawn). The food was exceptional, I had the French onion soup, chop house salad, 8 oz filet and Brussel sprouts. The steak was cooked to perfection.

Dined here with my immediate family for my 25th birthday and it was an absolutely great experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my food and drink as I ordered their Lamb Chops at medium temp and a French 75 cocktail. For the table we had their amazing Mac and Cheese, Brussel Sprouts, 2 orders of Mashed Potatoes, and the Asparagus…all very unco. The atmosphere and service is just what you’d expect from a fine dining restaurant such as this and I highly recommend anyone to try them.

We love this place. Brings me back to the 80’s. We try to come for our anniversary every year. The service was perfect, very knowledgeable of the menu, and wine list. Love the entertainment, not too intrusive. One of our favorite spots in the big D.

Our waitress was awful, never told us about the specials and had no recommendations or clue of what was on the menu. She continuously rushed us and really could care less about being there. I’ve been many times and this is the first time the service was very bad.

It was our first time here. Ericka was our server. She was amazing and helpful. So nice and helpful. I’ll admit, we don’t go to places this fancy so at first I felt a little uncomfortable with how professional and upscale it was but Ericka was great at making me feel more comfortable and I had such a fun, great night! I will be back. The food was UNBELIEVABLE!

We had a wonderful meal and evening here. The food was fantastic, very classic steak house and the offerings were as we were expecting. We both got steaks (filet mignon and ribeye). They were so well aged, well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The sides were delicious and well portioned (not too big). The cocktail menu is also delightful. There was live music, great jazz trio/quartet. All in all a perfect meal and evening!

I celebrated my Anniversary here and all of the staff was extremely polite and acknowledged our special occasion. Erica our waitress was amazing, professional and offered us some great options and alternatives. This was our first time visiting but definitely not our last. Our food was delicious, cooked to perfection! Also the band played well and wasn’t at all overwhelming. The sets were a little short but I’m ok with that. 5 out 5 stars for sure!

Our experience got off to a very poor start. We walked in to a new staff member getting berated by the female manager. Not cool. I planned the evening as it was my husbands 50th Birthday. His only request was great steak, fantastic bourbon, and a cigar. Naturally LCH for the win...so we thought. The bourbon selection is poor, their "high end" selection is my daily mixing stash at home. Apparently the cigar lounge was also closed, there was no notification regarding this. Nothing on the website, nothing when I made reservations, and nothing the two times I received phone calls from their staff to confirm reservations. Also the dress code was a bit of a joke. Most of the patrons were wearing jeans, T Shirts, and 3/4 zip sweatshirts. We also got a waiter clearly with no experience. No explanation of the menu, never came back to check on us, our drinks remained empty....finally I got up and went to the bar to take care of our drink needs on my own. At this point I finally had enough and asked to speak to the manager in a private space. That is when everything changed....Bjorn made a very bad experience sooo much better. This guy, this guy....WOW!!! He personally took care of some specialty bourbon from the back, helped find my husband a cigar, rounded on our table and made sure the waiter got on track. The atmosphere was great. Entertainment spot on (not too loud and relaxing Jazz). Just wish our night started out as great as it finished! If any business out there is looking for a fantastic leader to get your services up to par......you should head hunt Bjorn. Seriously! I sure hope this place knows what they have. Bjorn for the win. The only reason I would ever go back is to see Bjorn. Oh, yeah, almost forgot. The food really is amazing!

Unless you look and smell like money, don’t step foot in this place. My wife and I were waiting to talk to the hostess for our reservation, and the other host looked right past me to the decked out couple behind us and said, “What’s the name on the reservation?” We eventually sat at the bar while we waited for our table, and the bartender was clearly annoyed when my wife ordered a nonalcoholic beer, and even more so annoyed because we wanted to order a starter but not eat at the bar. She even went so far as to tell us we couldn’t get a starter because it wouldn’t be done. Once we finally got our table, our waiter didn’t bring my drink, and I’m pretty sure he forgot to place our order due to the fact that others who were behind us were getting their food before us. As we left, and we were the only people departing, the hostess didn’t even make eye contact with us let alone tell us “good night.” I can honestly say I’ve never felt more uncomfortable in a restaurant in my life, and what was supposed to be a great night out turned into an expensive mistake.

The ambiance and space is wonderful. The service is great..maybe a tad pushy...we arrived early and had a cocktail at the bar, however, we were approached 3 times about seating us. The only downfall and the low ratings was because 2 of the 4 steaks we had were cold upon delivery. It somehow missed the warming light or something. Nothing was done about it after we mentioned to the server. So at the pricepoint that LCH commands, this is not acceptable and the critique should be at the highest levels.

Veal chop only OK. I ended up going to the bar myself to get glass of wine after 20+ minute wait. Server did remember to bring my salad after the main course (common in Europe). Wife's scallops were very good, desert also good. Wonderful music. Overall, not the food quality and service level you would expect at this price point. 2nd meal here in last several months, will try again the future to determine if still on our list of local gems. Would recommend to a friend with reservations
