Excellent food, noisy but worth it. Next time we will go on one of the "specials" nights -- and also plan visit their new restaurant downtown.

We went for Fathers Day and had a SPECTACULAR meal. The specialty cocktails were great, the steaks were prepared perfectly, all the sides were savory & delicious. We ordered the burrata appetizer and it was so delicious! We even ordered two desserts to share for the table. The key lime pie won the vote! It is a must-have next time. It had been awhile since we dined here and we were very pleased and will return soon!

Father’s Day brunch offered a smaller selection but wonderful choices! We were put at a table by the bar (and the bathrooms) but the live music in the main room was too loud so we enjoyed that. Food was excellent! I had french toast and husband had an omelette and both were enormous portions. Service was great as were the Bloody Mary and Huckleberry Fizz! Will definitely go again!

The servers and staff were very good, the room itself was nice. We got seated next to the only other group there which was a bit awkward for our date but we mostly ignored it. Service took a while to get our order at first but was attentive afterwards. Steak was average at best, cooked ok but the fat was quite raw and chewy. This only happens if the chef isn’t very experienced with cooking a ribeye properly. At a normal restaurant I would expect it but at $76 I expected a mastered ribeye. The filet we order was fair, but both steaks were not very flavorful apart from the sauce they provide. Sides cost extra and are very expensive. And don’t even THINK about getting the Bone Marrow. For $18 I got a fingers worth of marrow, honestly it was a joke and a scam and is what I am most upset about. If you want a better experience for much cheaper just go to LongHorn the steak is literally the same but more tasty and like half the price.
