    Really excellent food. We had the 16oz ribeye steak and the Chilean Sea Bass. Both were full of amazing flavors and did not disappoint! I've just returned from Las Vegas where I ate at the Golden Steer and Peter Lugers steakhouses...this was right up there with them! Really great food if you don't mind the price. It's not cheap.

    Hell’s Kitchen was a great experience for me and my girlfriend. The server was amazing she was very attentive and even asked if we had any questions as well as offered recommendations. Food was amazing honestly we were both going to come for just burgers but ended up getting the bison birria tacos and the steak. Drinks were good. Ambiance was great with the outlook of everything. Music wasn’t our choice of music but nonetheless was a great experience all around.

    We had a great experience on Valentine’s Day. From the moment we walked in until we left we were treated with great service. Our server Melia was very knowledgeable and helpful in the choices we made. She provided very personable service. Our food was very delicious. We both had the lamb shank. They provided us with a very nice knife for cutting our meat. This was not needed because the meat literally fell off the bone as soon as you touched it.
