    Ordered over $1,000 worth of food and drinks. This was our third visit. We ordered three different Wagyu beef orders (3oz) each. Cost per order was $150-$210. The first order was the Olive Wagyu, I kid you not 1/3 of the order was tough chewy fat, almost cartiledgy. I showed them, they didn’t car. No discount, no free appetizer. $50 portion just tossed. The rest was OK. Not going to be coming back. Sorry guys.

    The service was excellent, the food was perfectly done. We celebrated a birthday and the table had rose petals and we were served a very large piece of New York cheesecake. The Steak Library is a wonderful place for a celebration.

    The dry aged porterhouse was one of the best steaks I've had. Everything was great. We had scallops, steak tar tar, bone marrow, octopus, dry aged porterhouse, truffle mashed potatoes, mushrooms, asparagus and the cheesecake for dessert. Our group loved it all. The wine list was good. The service was a 10 out of 10.
