    Overall the meal was very good. The steak could have been served with a little flavor but it was prepared to temperature. The crab cake is very good. The pink skillet appetizer is not worth $36 for 4 thin slices of filet. The experience is cool but I expected more. Clarity on cost for water would have been nice. $44 for four bottles of distilled water seems a little over the top. The food was very good but the experience didnt equal cost. For a family meal that was to be a special occasion, they sat us by the bar in a booth. It wasn’t exactly the experience we hoped for and it wasn’t a view from there either. I can score them too low since the meal was enjoyed all around, it just didn’t meet my personal expectations.

    Incredibly overpriced for the food that you get. Mashed potatoes were so good. But the steak was subpar

    The seafood here was the freshest I’ve ever had. We ordered the cocktail shrimp and salmon tartare as appetizers, and both were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was calm and elegant, allowing us to enjoy a relaxed and memorable dinner. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-quality seafood and a great dining experience.
