    We had a lovely Valentine's Day dinner at this steakhouse and overall, it was a great experience. The oysters were fresh and delicious, especially the Kumiai variety – a perfect start to the meal. The calamari was tasty but a bit on the undercooked side, the Caesar salad was fresh and crisp, a nice addition to our appetizers. For sides, the au gratin potatoes were rich and flavorful, but the spinach was a bit too salty for our taste. However, the highlight of the evening was definitely the porcini-rubbed bone-in ribeye with 15-year-aged balsamic. The steak was cooked to perfection, juicy and full of flavor – highly recommend this dish! Overall, the food was great, with just a couple of minor hiccups. It’s definitely a place I’d return to, especially for that amazing ribeye!

    What a great Valentine’s Day theme! We double dated and it was our first time going there so we had a lot of fun. The music was great, loud but not too loud where we couldn’t have a conversation. They filled up the place with many red floating balloons and looked so festive. The special Valentine’s menu was top notch with great selections no matter what diet you’re on. Service was always attentive even as crowded as they were. Great memories were made and we can’t wait to go back!
