   Everyone was so attentive yet gave us plenty of room to converse and enjoy our dinner. Ribeye Steaks were delicious. We will definitely be back.

   This evening, we dined at the restaurant to celebrate my brother’s birthday, and while the experience was overall enjoyable, we couldn’t help but notice some inconsistencies in the service. The hostess was very kind and acknowledged the birthday, but our server did not. We also observed that people who were seated after us were served before we were, and the wait time for our food was unusually long. Additionally, other tables around us received complimentary cannolis, yet we were not offered the same. This made us feel uncomfortable, and it seemed like there may have been some bias in how we were treated. We wanted to share this feedback, as we believe all guests should be treated with the same level of care and respect

   A nice steakhouse near the cannery row area. Great bar we’d like to try next time in town. We both had some Solid martinis and for dinner I had a shrimp pasta that was very good and my girl had a beef Wellington that was very tasty. Sides were solid too. Go enjoy a meal here.

   David our server was very good. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was that fitting of a steak house. It was just a tad warm inside, but everything was on point. The standout was he service however bot our main server and assistant were on point.

    This place has been one of my favorite's up to this last visit. Ambiance and the quality of food is usually at a high level. My wife and I ordered some appetizers and steaks. One of the appetizers were oysters and I noticed immediately that they were warm and not cold as they should have been. They did not smell bad, but the last oyster I ate had a weird after taste. My wife shared the same sentiment that she also had a weird aftertaste. Needless to say, I was sick till 2 am. Take caution when ordering oysters from this place!
