    We had a late dinner reservation and we called because we were running a few minutes late and the hostess was so understanding and they held our reservation. We were seated promptly and our waiter, Art, gave superb service and recommendations.

    I was looking forward to trying this restaurant for the first time, and chose the 3 course dinner with unlimited wine. The server was distracted, it was too crowded and loud and the food Meade everyone in my party sick..literally. The all inclusive wine was far from free flowing,the server got orders wrong and the main courses came out cold. It was so disappointing because this is part of the Quality restaurant group and I expected so much more. Never going back.

    Though I requested inside seating I was placed outside in a shabby side veranda. We did not get any bread, water had no ice, wine mediocre, steak ok. Food generally was lukewarm.

    Lin made us feel at home! The wine dinner is the way to go. We came after seeing a Broadway show, and I did not leave feeling too full. The meal was perfect, and Lin kept pouring the wine for us all night ! We will be back.

    Service was exceptional!! Our steak was pretty under-seasoned and the idle pieces were very rare but our waiter took it back and re -seared it for us, then he comped us some desert wine and we had a nice chat and he was just another good person trying to do his best. So we left an over 25% tip and considered the night a success. Every other thing we ordered including the wine was above and beyond what you’d expect from this caliber of steakhouse.

    We were seated upstairs which felt like like a event space and not a fine dining restaurant. Noise level was unbearably loud and ambience was non-existent. Service was brisk and felt a little rushed for a quick turnover. It really felt like a tourist trap where they were only concerned about serving you quickly and getting you out the door. Medium rare porterhouse for two came out rare so asked to cook a little longer. Of course it came back overcooked. Asparagus was just bland broiled. I was overall very disappointed.
