Great service, drinks and oysters!!!! The steak with frites was not so great. It was a 24 hour Sous Vide which is usually a great way to make a steak tender. However, this steak was the toughest, chewiest steak I've had in a long time. I couldn't finish it, not because I was full, but it just wasn't satisfying, especially for that price point. Maybe if you order that, double check with the host, for a verification of "tenderness." Other than that tough , I love this place!

We went for a birthday celebration. It was an amazing experience. The food was delicious, the service was great. It was such a cool experience to see them cross off the meat selection they have the chalkboard.
