Restaurant Summary

The room feels dim and stylish without slipping into stuffy, a bi-level space buzzing with birthdays and date nights. Servers glide in with confidence—one guest noted, "they checked on us at just the right moments"—and management is hands-on and welcoming. It is the kind of spot where a sizzling hot stone and a celebratory song can share the same table. On the plate, classic steakhouse comfort meets creative kosher twists. Think porterhouse with a deep sear, a cowboy rib that feeds two or three, and a Korean-style hot stone filet you finish at the table. Sushi is better than expected for a steakhouse, and starters like veal gnocchi and brisket egg rolls win fans. Pricing is high, but portions are generous and shareable, and most diners feel the execution justifies the splurge—though a few report the occasional salty steak. Families do fine here if the kids like familiar bites. There is no explicit kids menu, but options like burger and fries, chicken dishes, and simple sushi rolls work well. Portions are large and shareable, but plan ahead for parking, which can be tough on busy nights.
