Overall a great meal. The bone-in ribeye my brother got was awesome. My steak initially came out overdone; they gladly took it back and prepared a new steak to my liking without any fuss. Wonderful service and value placed on the customer being happy. I’d go back in a heartbeat!!!

The best steak we have had, Waygu Tomahawk for two. Oscar and his team were amazing. Perfect dinner before a show in the city. Appetizers, baked clams & sizzling Canadian bacon started the dinner off right. Then we had home fries for 2 with our steak. Loved it all.
