The steaks cooked to order were excellent. But two were not medium rare as requested. The sides were late, the potatoes were half cold (not fully defrosted). The waiter was okay but took too long. We were without menus for 15 minutes. This is not the Prime Rib I remember.

We may have a new Holiday tradition! I wasn’t sure we would be ready for a big dinner out the day after Thanksgiving, but it turned out to be a great idea and a great start to the Holiday season. The mustard rubbed veal chop, sliced along with the rib steak was a win win for our table. Our waiter, Jimbo, was attentive and made our experience fabulous.

The appetizers (oysters and soup) were very good. The main course (prime rib)was tough and had to cut and chew. The waiter was excellent. It was not worth the +$400 bill. No hurry to go back.

The perfect restaurant for celebrating! The beauty of the Prime Rib is its consistent quality. The Greenberg potatoes brought me back to memories of my first visit. The filet is marvelous and perfectly cooked to order (and is transcendent with fresh grated horseradish). The creamed spinach is a must-order. Service is impeccable - as reserved or as friendly as you indicate. Matt was both professional and relatable. A very enjoyable experience!

One of our favorite places to go for a special occasion. We love the ambiance there and the service is always impeccable! Drinks were on point and the food was delicious-that Gorgonzola sauce on a steak🔥! Certainly not an inexpensive meal but for the total experience, worth every penny. Also, thanks for the three birthday desserts (gratis)- perfect end to a perfect meal!

Our 10th anniversary dinner couldn't have been better. Jimbo was an extremely personable server and the food was FANTASTIC! I would skip the asparagus next time though. They were tough and stringy. The signature prime rib, which is their small cut was plenty for my husband and I and melted in our mouths!

Based on prior excellent experience my wife and I both had veal chops. My wife’s was excessively fatty while mine good but not up to prior experience. Mine was better but not commensurate with the price. Also my wife’s heirloom tomatoes were mealy and disappointing. All in all, last evening’s dinner somewhat disappointed.

Everything was FABULOUS and my filet was cooked exactly how I like it. The only negative for me was the bearnaise sauce which tasted sour/twangy to me and I didn’t care for it. It did not taste like bearnaise sauce to me and when I sent it back, I was informed it was bearnaise and given back to me. I did not eat it and it was not taken off the check. Fortunately my filet tasted so good, I didn’t miss the bearnaise sauce. Our waiter was excellent (apart from this one issue) and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Our server was wonderful and our food was very good, but also very expensive. Everything is a la carte priced, even the sauces for the beef entrees which are $10-$12 each. We were seated right next to a messy bus tray, and it was really cold and also so noisy in the restaurant that we could barely hear each other talk. The tables are really close together. It would be much more pleasant if the heat were better regulated, and there were a few less tables in the main dining room.

Fantastic, like always!! Great food coupled with spectacular service, all in a great space. We love it here. So happy they stayed in this location (only wish they would have chosen carpeting that better matched the existing carpeting). It's critical to the overall experience. Already looking forward to our next visit.

We have been going to this restaurant for over 20 years. Tonight was a huge disappointment. The food was subpar and the service was terrible. We felt forgotten sitting in the back. All in all, an expensive mistake. To add insult to injury, our waiter literally chased us down when we picked up our car from the valet saying that we took the check receipt with us which was not the case. So off putting and terrible.
