    I booked this restaurant for location and menu and price -- my family and I came on Christmas Eve, and found a whole special menu with prices that were nearly double the options listed on the regular menu. Clearly, this impacted our choices of what to order, as we did not plan on spending as much as we did. We split the filet mignon tips appetiser, which was delicious (this being a steak house, we felt we needed to at least have steak as one of our courses) but the peppers were far too much and most of us removed them before eating the tips and bread. The main courses were fine, but my daughters chose to split their tuna dish (and were told there was a $7 extra charge for plating it on two plates -- outrageuous!). We did enjoy the food and ambiance, but the overall bill dampened my husband's and my spirits for the holiday. We will NOT be returning.

    We have driven by this restaurant for a while and finally decided to stop in for a drink and a appetizer on Christmas Eve. We were greeted by friendly Jan who took us to our reserved high top, The menu had been changed to a special limited menu so we decided to have dinner. Had a lobster and burrata appetizer and then lobster ravioli and the salmon. Both were great. While we were eating a husband and wife combo came in and set up for the nightly entertainment. As they walked by us they stopped to introduce themselves and say Merry Christmas. They started playing a mix of Christmas Carols and popular music. Couples were dancing so we did too. The owner came over to say hello as well. We stayed longer for a couple of martinis. Overall a great ;meal, friendly people, and all in all a delightful surprise.

    Reason for celebration (Anniversary) was overlooked despite mentioning that in our reservations. initially tried to sit us in a crowed, small and loud area. The complete opposite of the vibe we were looking for. The service was decent and the food was good but nothing exceptional. Perhaps not the right vibe for us.

    We were so happy with our experience. Food was delicious. Our waiter was excellent. The restaurant is very clean, new, modern. It’s a little tight, but they played some low music so you weren’t hearing the conversation next to you. We will definitely be back. Definitely go you’ll be happy.

    Loved the menu ! Our waiter Miguel ( I hope I remembered that correctly ) was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my choice of entree- He even went and double checked with the chef about an ingredient without me asking him to.
