Had a reservation for 6:15p but arrived 15mins early. We were seated immediately. Very attentive staff. Cocktails were on point. Had the jumbo shrimp cocktail chilled to start, very fresh. We primarily wanted to try the beef options. Filet mignon, rib eye, beef rib, lamb and pork belly were very tender. Picanha was not as tender. Salad bar was great. Music was a little on the party side but not unbearable. Valet parking. Will come again.

This is one of my go to spots. The food, drinks, and service is always on point. The dining room is much quieter than the bar area. Parking can be a pain but it’s a great place to eat.
