   Great food and service, but very loud. They need to invest in sound baffles so it would be easier to carry on conversation while enjoying the wonderful meal.

   Their wagyu beef is the best steak I've ever tasted. Melts in your mouth

   I was served the wrong steak (not a t-bone) cooked at the wrong temperature (raw) that I ordered. A very disappointing and expensive experience for our anniversary celebration.

   The food was just ok, and definitely not worth the very high prices that were charged. I ordered a 6 Oz filet medium rare, and the server confirmed with me that it would be warm red in the center. My steak was medium to medium well. A member of my dining party who ordered a 9 Oz filet fared better with getting the steak prepared to his liking. The Caesar salad was bland, and although my server confirmed that I in fact wanted the white anchovies, I had one anchovy in my bowl. The wine was excellent, but at a premium price. I had high expectations, and was underwhelmed.

   This was probably the worst steak I’ve ever “tried” to eat. The price for a tough piece of grissel was $45. They refunded 1/2 the price. I couldn’t say anything positive about the rest of the meal either. Total surprise since I had heard great things about it.

   steak was cold sent back still cold and portions small and expresso was like dirty water not strong coffee as you would expect with espresso. No manager came over to apologize or explain it was our anniversary and no one ask for what or over free dessert as a gift. or any other acknowledgment other than 1 hand written menu, when there are 2 people at the table.

    We ordered steak frites and a burger with mac and cheese. The atmosphere was great. The service was great. The food, not so much. My wife said her steak tasted like it was from Omaha Steaks. It also had a strange gamey taste. ( grass-fed?) My burger was enormous and perfectly cooked, but it also had a strange taste. The macaroni and cheese was undercooked and tasted like it was made from a mac and cheese box kit.

    Overall I would try them again however for as pricey as their food is, I was expecting a better experience. Our appetizer came out the same time as our food, the vegan stirfry was so salty, I had a very difficult time eating it. It was mostly noodles and few veggies. The person who had the steak at the table, said that it was pretty good and we also had a child who ordered chicken tenders and fries and the fries were semi-warm and two of the chicken tenders were so tough you couldn’t eat them. The waiter was polite and apologetic for the apps coming out the same time as the entrees- not his fault. I just wish the food would have been better for the cost. I would try them again for the sake of this possibly being a fluke.

    We’ve been here many times for dinner but this was our first True Blue brunch..everything was outstanding! The omelette and the koji chicken and waffles were both delicious but the brisket Benedict special was our favorite. Our waiter was very attentive and everything was reasonably priced, will definitely be going back for brunch soon!

    The food was delicious and the waiter was very knowledgeable and went over all the specials. However it was clear he didn’t ring in all the sides we ordered so when dinner came out we were missing some stuff. We were told it was the kitchens fault. Either way it took another 5-10 mins before it came out and there was no apology or any discount taken off. This won’t stop us from going back since the food was outstanding. Just expected a little more apologies from the sever or the management.

    Food was delicious albeit a bit expensive. My steak was cooked perfectly. Herb vinaigrette salad dressing was great. Bolognese was also excellent as was the flourless chocolate cake. Our server was excellent; attentive, professional, lovely. The only complaint: booked an outside table and we were sitting right by the parking lot. Constant stream of cars driving by; not at all pleasant. Why put a nice restaurant in a strip mall? Inside had slightly better ambiance but looked/felt kind of sterile. Food and service were excellent though.

    The reason we went to this establishment was to have a steak- disappointed we were unable to get the! The burgers were good- but not what we had in mind for Easter dinner! Our waiter was not great at all- did not seem to be happy to be at work! While this visit was not what we thought it would be, we will try again as we have heard the steaks are amazing!

    Wonderful brunch! Prices are FAIR for what you get. Huge servings, and excellent quality food! The crab and mushroom omelette is amazing as are the brussels sprouts and cheeseburgers! Make sure to go early as it gets very loud very quickly. The music is definitely a feature rather than background noise. It was a little loud in general of a restaurant for our group, but the food helps make it worth it!!!

    Been several times. Great brunch. However, celebrated son's 21st b'day there last night, not what we expected. Good Service, though! My son's steak was good, but out of 2 Mac n cheese sides, 1 good, other mostly soup, literally. My fries were almost too spicy to eat. A little spice, fine, but all 4 of us tried them and agreed, too much. Hamburger, salads and Ramen all great. Will get take out next time because too loud to hear each other talk. FYI, Meat from shop is probably best in town, love their shaved salt!

    Our group ordered 3 steaks, 2 Filets and 1 bone-in, aged Ribeye. The Ribeye was supposed to be cooked to medium however it was rare. They offered to "cook" it some more and the steak was returned with the bone to hot to touch, microwave anyone, and the steak still undercooked inside. At $110 for a steak, it should be cooked correctly the first time. Basic steak 101, sear to seal in the moisture. If you have to recook after it's cut, you have lost lots of moisture within the steak. In addition, both of our Filets had way more flavor than this forty something day "aged" Ribeye. This was our first visit and we left very dissatisfied and do not plan to eat there again. If you choose to go, the filets were good but skip the aged Ribeye.
