Good portions. Steak was prepared a just the right temperature. Bread needs to come out with the salad not afterwards. Brussel sprouts were too burnt.

I booked the reservation in August for our anniversary. Noted this in the booking. I had requested an outdoor table. We were told due to rain they weren’t seating outside. When I mentioned that there was a roof, I was told it leaked. A couple came in shortly after us and were seated outside. We were stuck in a corner, view of high line wires. We booked here for a patio experience to celebrate our 4th anniversary. The price would have been fine if the ambiance would have been what we were anticipating. So very disappointing.
