    Regarding service: Getting seated at 8:00 PM on a Friday was essentially instant, though after being seated it took about half an hour before a waiter came to ask us for our order. The food was magnificent, and in such abundant quantities that for three people, a single order of their nachos would have been plenty. The ambience was not too loud as to prevent conversation, though at times loud enough to stop it. The decor is chic, and the golden skeleton on a motorcycle honestly increased my overall satisfaction. All in all, 7/10 restaurant for diners under 21, despite mainly being a bar.

    Our steaks were wonderful. Cooked to perfection. A small salad and a baked potato came with it. The place has IU lights everywhere, small, lots of tables. We had reservations, seemed like everyone did. We there early and were seated 15 minutes prior to our reservation time. It was a Tuesday and seemed busy, but not rushed. The staff was great. Quick and efficient. Expensive, but I would definitely go again for a special occasion.
