   Conveniently located in Pearl Highlands Shopping Center with lots of free parking. Nice interior. Our waiter, Jacob, was great! The food was great! Favorites were the fried calamari, rack of lamb, and the of course, the steaks. Cooked perfectly, tender, and juicy. The pineapple upside down round was also a great choice for dessert. I only wish there were surf and turf options with the steak (shrimp, fish, lobster). And I was a bit disappointed that patrons didn't come more appropriately dressed for a nice steakhouse. I know it's a "neighborhood" restaurant, but collared shirts should be required. My party came nicely dressed but sat next to tables with folks casually dressed in t-shirts. Shorts, except for board shorts, are okay. Overall experience was great! I would definitely return for another special occasion.

   Michael took care of us from the time we were seated to our exit. Request 5 minute Michael if you go!. You will not be disappointed. Food however was hit and miss. The rack of lamb was delicious but served medium instead of requested medium-rare. Sometimes the cook knows better. Far from classic this house's version Caesar salad was a miss. The clam chowder seemed rather small and loaded with bacon rather than clams. Kinda like something Bobby Flay would do. Best dish tonite was the grilled asparagus closely followed by the lamb. The vegetable was perfectly done, tender and good bite. Note no steaks were ordered. Been there done that, won't get fooled again. On a different note, the ambient noise with all your neighboring diners talking and no sound diffusion can be either a blast or a downer. You pick. That's what Friday nite at 7 brings you. As for value you be the judge

   The tomahawk steak was delicious, probably the best deal of the night.  Elijah provided exceptional service and made sure we are well taken care of as we celebrated a very special birthday.

   Ordered ribeye med well and it was under okay on the perimeter but the center was more like medium ( red). But he didn’t want to complain about it because he had started eating it . The fried rice was cold while the rest of the food was piping hot. We expected the entire dish to be warm/hot not cold or at room temperature

   The food was good but I expected a little more fine dining then what I seen on the pictures. The service was top tier and the food was good. It was very loud for a fine dining experience. We were told that the same people own signatures steak house. So the next time we are here we will try it out.

    Went for a late night holiday dinner w my daughter. Restaurant was maybe half full and definitely plenty of servers/staff to accommodate. Server was attentive and friendly. Food was served very hot and w a sizzling plate! Good proportions for the price.
