    Wonderful experience! The food, service and the entertainment was well worth it for my birthday celebration . Meal was excellent, we got the sea bass, scallops and elk rack, it was delicious. Service was outstanding - we had Brandon. And the entertainment topped off a very fun night!

    Fun idea and great ambiance. All of our steaks were subpar, tough meat. The magic show after was shorter than expected, but good

    The food was wonderful, everything was totally creative and innovative, the cocktails were perfect, a variety of flavors and alcohol, and the presentations were perfect. I definitely recommend this place for spending an evening with your partner or friends.

    Much better than expected - will definitely return and bring friends. Try the burrata salad - it was great! The wagyu by the ounce was also wonderful and perfectly prepared. Cocktails were “impactful”.

    Overall, we had a grand time. The magic show was quite good (how did he do those things?) and was short and intimate. Good time. The food was good overall, excellent in specifics (the buratta was marvelous and the parmesan fries were worth the trip!), but the filet was a bit undercooked and lacked firmness, and the sea bass was good but not excellent as we have had at other restaurants. The environment was well-thought out and inventive - a unique take on a restaurant experience. The display of ancient playing cards was a neat touch. We did notice a stale smell from the carpet. The prices were high, but such is the case with most high-end restaurants. The cocktails were outstanding - we had a second order, which is something we rarely do.

    I expected much better tasing food than what was provided. The steaks were great but everything else was completely mediocre. We had the frog legs, pork belly, ribeye, NY strip, fingerling potatoes and Brussel sprouts. The pork belly was so over cooked it was tough. Frog legs were ok but the onion was very overpowering . Sides were basic and overpriced for the quality. Steaks and dessert were good but nothing spectacular. The shows were great and entertaining but the food left so much to be desired. I can say this was a one and done experience for us.
