    Great night out. We enjoyed the Tableside Chateau Briand and a couple of glasses of wine. Emil, our server, was exceptional! We’ll be back.

    Excellent food. Very expensive prices but you get what you pay for. Probably the best steak I’ve ever had. And the lobster mashed potatoes. 💋.

    We spent $700 and had to wave down different waiters and ask multiple times for a waiter each section of the meal. We couldn’t even get our waiter since he never came back to check in. Long wait for sides as well. I had to send back a basic cocktail to be redone. To top it all off they tack on a 20% tip!!!! Ridiculous for horrible service on a $700 meal. Will never go again to this restaurant!!!!

    Host was not friendly, wish they train them how to smile. Server was great, she was attentive and polite yet friendly. This place has great ambient but it felt bit loud today. On the other hand, food was subpar. Sides were good but the meat was cold. we ordered larger cut of beef, may be dining room was too cold while server was cutting the beef table-side, it got really cold and nothing is worse than eating cold cut of steak plus it took him a while to cut all three cuts and deliver it to a single plate. I am not sure if it was worth the price for a cold cut of steak

    We received 2 gift cards for the restaurant, that's why we went there to celebrate our anniversary and give it a try. The atmosphere was nice and plenty of parking since it's located inside the mall, and restaurant would validate the parking for up to 6 hours.The server was okay, and I guess because we didn't offer expensive stuffs, the server later didn't really pay attention for our table. We decided not to tip extra plus 20% gratuity is already included in the bill. The food was bad. The crab cake was very salty. Don't order the fried bacon, it tasted gross. The truffle fries is not bad, and the honey crisp apply salad was the only food that taste pretty good. I ordered a medium rare steak, it came out more like medium well and it was very dry. My family used to own a steak house so I know clearly what a medium rare steak looks like. Do I have to order an expensive steak in order for me to get it cook the right way? Anyway, I would not go there anymore. It doesn't worth for the price.
