   I’ve eaten here before and had a great experience. I encouraged my friends to come here with me this time- we loved the food and our server. After dinner, we decided to go to the bar for a drink. We were told that they had a whiskey option that was not on the menu for $35 which we ordered. It was an Eagle Rare. When we got the bill, it was $70 a pour- he had neglected to tell us it was $35/ounce. This is after spending already about $1500 on dinner for three of us. We mentioned this to someone behind the bar in a suit- seemed to be a manager type- he was shaking shots for a group of about 5 at the bar. He was SUPER dismissive and unengaged and rude. His response was basically “it’s $35 an ounce idiots” and then he walked away. We paid the full bill and left- with a super bad taste about the whole experience which- up until then had been great- so it’s very disappointing. Think they should know. Because I would have said I loved it up until then! (Also if you’re pouring 2oz pours you should just say it’s $70. That’s ridiculously misleading when nothing on Your drink menu is couched by the ounce.

   Our expectations were high going into the reservation. The steak was good but the portions are small and the starters even smaller for what you spend.

   I’m a steak lover, and this is the best steak I have ever had! Jusuf (our server) was absolutely phenomenal and I can’t wait to go back!

   Excellent experience. Every dish we had from apps to desert was unique. The beef truffle tartar was very tasty and had a great flavor. The fish and steak were presented to us and grilled were amazing. Great side dishes was the bone marrow mashed potatoes. Definitely will go back to try other dishes.

   Incredible dinner. The food was unbelievably good and the bill was far less than I expected.

   It took 35 min for waiter to come to table and that was only after getting up to say something. We had waiters coming to the tables next to us, moving the tables closer to us to accommodate a group of 6, so we had tables on either side of us 5 inches apart. When we could finally order (after no apology for the delay), the special wagyu steak and pasta dish was very bland, no flavor at all. The pasta just tasted like plain box pasta and the steak had 0 flavor despite being some special steak from Japan. More than happy to pay a premium for a great meal but this was just a total disappointment for what was ranked as “14th best steakhouse in the world”

    Absolutely amazing dining experience! Loved sitting at the bar and taking all the recommendations from the staff while we sipped our fantastic cocktails. The food was beyond perfect and we will def be returning soon.
