If you’re ever craving classic steakhouse vibes with top-tier flavor, this is your spot.
We kicked things off with their crispy Coconut Shrimp—perfectly golden and paired with a sweet chili mango sauce that hits just right. I went with the Prime Rib, and it was everything a cut of beef should be—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. My wife ordered the Flat Iron Steak topped with blue cheese and wine sauce—bold, rich, and cooked perfectly.
And yes, we saved room for dessert. Their Bread Pudding with ice cream? A must. Warm, gooey, and drizzled in caramel—it was the perfect sweet finish.
Service was solid, ambiance was relaxed, and the food was straight-up fire. Definitely coming back.

Let’s start with the calamari. Presentation was great. The dish looked crispy and appealing. I wish I could say the same for the taste. In my humble opinion…. the calamari was very chewy. It also was lacking in flavor. Dipping the calamari in the Chipotle sauce that accompanied the dish did take the dish to another level. I was just hoping that the calamari could stand on its own. Moving on to the risotto and steak. The risotto was very well prepared. The steak, which I ordered medium, also prepared well. Hats off to the chef on that aspect. But again… they both lacked flavor. I had to use a heaping of salt and pepper to boost this dish. The steak also had a bit of a chew to it. Next was the lobster ravioli. This dish came with sautéed prawns. And I would have to say… this was the star of the night. The dish is served in a tomato based sauce. This sauce provides the flavor for the entire dish. The ravioli stuffed with lobster and cheese were very tasty. The sautéed prawns were a tad bit overcooked but still delicious just the same.
Overall… my guest and I did enjoy our experience. Our service was quick and attentive. The pricing a little on the high end and I’m hoping this was just an off night for the food, but I will definitely give this place another shot.
My bosses insisted us to dine in here, so we drove all the way to downtown Salinas from our training site. Seemingly the rest of the team were in a mood of more high-end meals after mostly cooked the dinner by ourselves or bought takeaway from supermarket for days and the deal was settled.
We were greeted by the charming old school interior of the restaurant, which has a long history dated back to the early 20th century. No idea how well ventilated these spaces are since I didn’t bring my CO2 meter with me (old restaurants tend to have poor air circulation).
The meals themselves are very nice, cooked or processed to perfection. I ordered crusted tuna tartare which was fresh (long time having good raw fish like this!), served with seasonal stir fry veggies. My colleagues enjoyed their risotto and medium rare steaks. Price was of course pricy but it’s every cent well spent, especially for a treat like this after hard work.
The restaurant offers a nostalgic and charming atmosphere that immediately sets the stage for a delightful dining experience. From the moment I walked in, the entire staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming.
Now, let’s talk about the food – it was nothing short of amazing! The steak, cooked to a perfect medium rare, was bursting with flavor, and it hit all the right notes. And the creme brûlée? Fantastic! It was the perfect sweet ending to an outstanding meal.
I can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough if you’re in the mood for a perfectly cooked steak.
