Service: Amazing! waiter was nice and we got to pick our own seat in bar area.
Atmosphere: quiet, relaxing, music not that loud.
When we were seated, our table was noticeably wobbly, and there was a dirty napkin left on the floor nearby, which took away from the initial impression. During the meal, our waiter only checked on us once after our entrées were delivered. After we finished eating, he walked past our table multiple times without checking in, offering dessert, or asking if we needed anything else, which made us feel overlooked.
I also noticed that several guests were not following what I understood to be the established dress code for the restaurant, which affected the overall atmosphere of what is typically marketed as an upscale dining experience.
For a restaurant positioned as a premium dining experience—especially on Valentine’s Day—I expected more attention to detail, service, and ambiance. I hope this feedback is helpful, as I believe the location has the potential to deliver a much more refined and consistent experience.
$165 later, I left date night with my husband having eaten steamed, unseasoned broccoli, four literal bites of lamb, and sparkling water. That was my “five-star steakhouse” dinner.
Meanwhile, my husband was living his best life with perfectly cooked sea bass—flaky, juicy, and topped with an amazing ginger sauce. The one bite he shared was so good I immediately said, “If we ever come back, I’m ordering that.”
But I stuck with my old favorite: the lamb chops. And this was my fourth attempt.
The first time, they were perfection—beautifully seasoned, tender, buttery, with that gorgeous pink center. Paired with a Mariflor Malbec, it was an amazing meal.
The second time, they came out well done. I sent them back… and they came back well done again. I ended up eating bread and asparagus. They gave me a coupon.
Trip #3 (a celebratory dinner), the lamb was again well done. I just ate it and didn’t complain. We received promotional envelopes for a future visit.
So that brings us to trip #4. We opened our promotional envelopes at the table and we both won a free desserts. Switch to ordering, I showed our server a photo of a medium lamb chop with a pink center and asked if mine could be cooked like that. She said yes.
When the food arrived, one chop was perfect—but the other two were overcooked (one well done, one medium-well). By the time the server checked on us, my husband had finished eating and I was left with a plate of lamb I couldn’t eat. When I said I wasn’t going to eat it, the plate was simply cleared.
A manager offered us one free dessert, which voided one of our dessert coupons, so we essentially traded one free dessert for another. We were still charged $65 for the uneaten entrée. To make matters worse, I’m on keto and couldn’t even have dessert.
After four attempts, I’m done chasing that first perfect lamb chop.
One star—because date night shouldn’t end with broccoli and disappointment.
Salad was huge, bread good. The entree was chicken and filet. Was impressed with both. Beef was perfect med rare and chicken wasn’t dry.
Staff was very polite
All that being said if I was paying for meal and drinks I wouldn’t go there, too pricey for what I can have at a local steakhouse
