We had a lovely new years brunch (though I do wish they actually served brunch fare). Everything was very delicious! The service, while very friendly and accommodating, got a little slow toward the end as it got busier, which is understandable. It would’ve been okay except we were in a booth that was one of two they have for parties of six but maybe six short, slim people? Pretty uncomfortable, especially in that corner spot, I spent the whole meal with my arms up over the back of the booth. I’m chubby but the rest of my party were regular sized men and one slim woman and we all felt squashed. But otherwise, a beautiful meal on a lovely day.

In town for a concert at Petco Park and was looking for a steak restaurant in the gas lamp district. What a surprise! We were a tad skeptical with the options of apps and sides but absolutely everything was top notch and we loved our dining experience. All servers were extremely friendly and fun yet super professional!

Dry-aged Delmonico was the best steak I've ever had. We raised Angus beef in Indiana and in the 66 years I have walked this earth, there is no finer steak.
