Stopped in for a lunchtime burger so sat at the bar. Draft beer was tasty and very cold no issues there. The burger was below average particularly from a steakhouse. Bun looked like they get them from ShopRite. Burger had no seasoning and was sort of dry, although I ordered medium. Picture says it all.

Celebrating my 21st birthday at this nice little steakhouse. The atmosphere is amazing, And so was the food. This place is bougie, so prepare to spend a little. However is it very worth it. I got the bacon slabs and the 12 ounce filet mignon.

My partner and I came her for his birthday. Based off of reviews we had high expectations. The drinks were amazing and refreshing. The bacon was delicious but could have used a bit more of the glaze. The ribeye was tough and chewy but it was a good amount of steak. I did enjoy the sauce too. The Mac n cheese was okay. For me it was a bit too oilly and the top was a bit too chewy. My partner enjoyed the cowboy steak. The mushrooms were delicious. My partner enjoyed his loaded potato. Dessert was delicious!! We enjoyed our dinner. William was a great server. Parking was hard to find.

Great service. Nice atmosphere. Good presentations. But they need to work on the food, especially given the prices. The ribeye was ordered as medium rare, yet came medium well. The chicken was so so dry. The mac and cheese was nothing to get ecstatic over. Same goes for the french onion soup. The lobster bisque however was decent and had a lot of lobster in it. Overqll was a little disappointed but still had a nice night out.

By comparison with other high-end steakhouses, this one ranks lowest on my list. Good and friendly service. Some food items were prepared very well, while others were well below average. We had a party of 10 for our holiday party and everyone agreed they did not want to come back again.

I met up with my friend for brunch at this location. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby but it took a while to find parking. When I walked in I found my friend. Kenny was our server and he was nice. I started with an espresso martini and it was very tasty. The server allowed me to order from the lunch menu and I ordered the blackened chicken sandwich and it looked and tasted great. My friend ordered the french toast and she enjoyed it. The bill was affordable and I enjoyed my experience.

We loved it so much the first time that we came back to celebrate my birthday. Top notch service and the food is excellent. The porterhouse steak for 2 is seasoned perfectly and cooked to perfection.

Service was terrible. the bald guy was not tentative, very strange person, almost like didn't want to be there, cups were empty for a while. towards end of meal asked if wanted more beverages. food came out waiter was no where to be found. I ordered a medium well steak and it came out well done. I tried to cut and it was hard as a rock. I pay good money and tip very good for me to eat on hard piece of steak. Had to flag another waiter to help. Went on the weekend and for some reason they had patio tables inside. Very small location to have these tiny tables for any reason. When I got home I checked my left over and it was as the waiter just threw inside steak and baked potato was upside down. SMH. I dive a GLA Benz and its while driving back home that the food got flipped upside down. Although bad service I still left my 20% tip for the other staff members and I pay Cash as well. The person pouring the water was the friendliest as well.
