    After hearing fantastic reviews, my wife and I were eager to try this restaurant, but we were disappointed because the food was excessively salty. Many steak places seem to charge more for the ambiance than for the quality of the food. They often upsell by claiming their steaks are wagyu, but sometimes you’re better off just cooking a steak at home.

    We are so sorry you did not have a 5-star experience with us, John. We are committed to providing our guests with outstanding food and service, and we are very disappointed to have missed the mark. I hope you will give us another chance to get it right for you in the future. Thank you. Warm regards. - Tee Paddock, Guest Relations Manager

    Everything from when we walked in the door until we left was amazing! The food, the service were absolutely perfect! We had the flight of filets. The meat melted in our mouth! The wedge salad with Gorgonzola dressing was to die for! The A5 dumplings were wonderful! Eric was our waiter. He was attentive, professional and personable. He patiently answered all my questions.

    Fantastic dinner and very good service. I do not typically like octopus, but my friend wanted to try it and it was The Best either of us has ever had and I would definitely recommend it! The ribeye was done perfectly thanks to our waiters suggestion to do medium rather than medium rare (My typical preference). Brussels Sprouts might be some of the best I have ever had and the duck fat fries were tremendous. Look forward to eating there again very soon!
    Guard & Grace - DenverResponded 2 days ago
    Thank you very much for taking the time to share, Shawn! We really appreciate any and all feedback about your dining experience. The octopus is one of my all-time favorite starters, from the tenderness to the meat to the texture of the white bean and Spanish chorizo, so glad you all enjoyed it! We are thrilled to see our team was able to create an inspiring vibe with a memorable experience! We look forward to creating more memorable moments in the future. Thank you again!!

    Exquisite. One of the finest meals we’ve ever enjoyed. Modern steakhouse cool vibes with musical soundtrack accompaniment. Waiter Josh was outstanding. Bourbon old fashioned classically poured. Shrimp cocktail with two grilled two cold and the best wasabi cocktail sauce ever. One of the best Caesars salad ever with creamy garlicky dressing. Split aged strip steak and lobster tails - cooked just right. Potatoes au gratin were decadently delicious. Chocolate mousse white chocolate mousse and chocolate cake desert with cappuccino. One of the best nights dining out . Met the impressive owner chef Troy Guard.
