    Caviar and oysters were very good. King Charles cut ribeye was amazing. Carrots were amazing. Fingerling potatoes were bland. Lime zest overpowered the cheesecake.

    Everything was great. The appetizers are very unique and outstanding. Probably one of the best steaks I've had in quite some time. Highly recommend for a nice dinner out.

    Celebrated my husband‘s 55th birthday here and the service was lukewarm. What is worse is we asked the waiter to ask the table behind us to have their child put headphones on so we didn’t have to listen to the competition between the restaurant music and children sing-alongs. The waiter didn’t do it and our birthday dinner became a chaotic symphony of music that was not enjoyable.  we didn’t want to interject with the table behind us because it was a large party and we felt the waiter should’ve handled it.  enjoyed the company of my own family, but it wasn’t worth the $800.
