The food was good but way overpriced for the selection, no liquor license, location, and pricing was not fully disclosed on items. They are trying to operate at a level they cannot compare to competition at this time. Food was prepared well, adjust the rest and they will be successful.

Food and service outstanding. Strip mall location and interior a bit disappointing. They don’t serve mixed drinks, only champagne, wine and beer. However, don’t let that be a deterrent because there’s not better options for steak in the area and the wagyu was excellent.

The food, ambience and staff were amazing throughout the actual dining experience. However, the wow factor wore off once the meal was finished and a waiter ran after me and my date in the parking lot with the card reader and asked us why we didn’t tip more. I understand there are certain expectations when it comes to fine dining establishments, but we also expect a certain level of professionalism with the staff. The question felt very targeted, and when I attempted to respond in a respectful way, this member of wait staff still kept bugging me as to why we were not able to tip more. I had to embarrassingly admit that my date and I are both college students who saved up a lot of money to be able to eat there, and upon receiving the bill, we realized it was a bit more than we expected, so we paid in full, but tipped only what we could. The night was memorable but not for the right reasons.
