Absolutely love everything this restaurant has to offer, great vibes, great food and a view that is worth every dollar spent. Service has always been great and if people complained in the past, that has to be on them only. YOU GUYS ARE FREAKIN AWESOME!!!! EVERYBODY FROM VALLET PARKING AND ALL THE HOST, EVERYONE WAS EXTREMELY POLITE AND WELL MANNERED.

Our food was fantastic. Steaks were cooked to perfection. Everything else was also fantastic. I really liked the Italian dressing on the salad. Water was great and attended to all our needs. All and all I highly recommend this restaurant.

This is one of my favorite restaurants to dine at. The food and the service are always top-notch. We were there on a Sunday afternoon, so there were fewer people than usual and it was very quiet. I ordered the Wagyu Flight, which was 3 kinds of beef served on a rectangular wooden board, and it was absolutely delicious. I’ve dined here many times over the years, and have never been disappointed in either the food or the service.

Always a pleasure! Food is elite and customer service as well. I celebrated my birthday here last night and we had a small party of 7. Everyone in my party’s first time there, except me-it’s one of my faves. Everyone is planning the next group meal there. We were drooling over the food, we had the short ribs, pork, potatoes and the bread we all were just delicious. We haven’t gone wrong with any dish there. Try it! You won’t regret it.
