High-energy modern steakhouse delivering excellent steaks, polished service, and celebratory vibes, but pricing is steep and peak-night waits can derail the experience.
Restaurant Summary
The room feels modern and celebratory with polished touches that make birthdays and big nights pop. Staffers are called out by name, and one guest said the team "made us feel genuinely celebrated." Expect a lively, polished vibe rather than hushed formality. On the plate, it is a contemporary steakhouse with global accents: wagyu flights, hamachi crudo, vadouvan cauliflower, and a showy tableside Caesar. Most diners rave about crusty steaks and rich sides, while a minority report overcooking or slow pacing on packed holidays. Come for premium beef and well-sourced seafood, with creative flourishes and a bar program that suits the scene. Families do fine here earlier in the evening. There is no explicit kids menu, but comfort picks like chicken parm, pastas, fries, and a big baked potato keep younger diners happy. Portions run generous, and desserts like sticky toffee pudding are crowd-pleasers.
