    All the trappings of a steakhouse, but the steaks themselves were just ok. No hard sear, under seasoned. Mine was over cooked and had to return it. The second wasn’t much better.

    This is one of my favorite places in San Diego, but they really dropped the ball Thanksgiving. Food was good but service really bad. Started off strong with cocktails and oysters but after we placed order for our entrees our server pretty much disappeared. Had to beg for everything else. A weird experience at what is normally top of the line.

    Delicious food. Outstanding service. Best steak I’ve ever had! We will be back. We were celebrating our anniversary and they added a special touch of the rose petals and card on our table. With a complimentary dessert! Cheesecake was amazing.

    The food was good. The steak (Chateaubriand) was probably the biggest disappointment of all the menu items. It seemed a little tough for Med Rare. The Mac and cheese, meatball, bread and wedge was great! The service was fantastic. The wine by the glass options were good to pair with the steak.
