    Loved the steak, but honestly, it was more the servers that made the night for me. Very good at their job, yet a great balance of personable and professional. Food: 8/10 Got the silver butter knife steak. Some parts were 15/10. Others were a bit too salty for me. Cooked VERY WELL. And dang, those 15/10 bites were to die for. Servers: 12/10. They really go above and beyond in service. Having good short conversations, being warm, and being great servers. Atmosphere: 8 but made 10 by the staff. I had never been there, and it was my first time getting a higher end dinner like that. So I felt a little out of my comfort zone, yet the staff did a great job at making me and my girlfriend feel welcomed. Overall, I loved it and will go back someday. :)

    Hell’s Kitchen was a great experience for me and my girlfriend. The server was amazing she was very attentive and even asked if we had any questions as well as offered recommendations. Food was amazing honestly we were both going to come for just burgers but ended up getting the bison birria tacos and the steak. Drinks were good. Ambiance was great with the outlook of everything. Music wasn’t our choice of music but nonetheless was a great experience all around.

    We enjoyed a pre-Valentine's dinner with amazing service from Princis, fabulous recommendations to try the TaterTot pizza special (really good), the pan-seared sea scallops (plentiful and tasty), the chicken tortilla soup (hot and yummy), and kept our five-year-old in check with calamari, brie cheese curds, pepperoni pizza and green beans (he is an eating machine). In the end, it was a fun night out with consistent food choices, impeccable service, and a lively atmosphere.
