Mood: high energy, loud atmosphere… corporate feel setting…great for large parties
Tastes Like: good, but not spectacular. a lot of the food on the plate was way too salty for my taste, starting from the bread basket. the scallops with foie gras seemed to be a daring, tasteful choice, but I went with the special fish of the day, dorado over crab cous cous. I’ve never had this type of fish, so it was a must try. My friend’s scallops turned into four small measly portions… with the ultra small toppers of foie gras. It’s a hefty price tag, that still leaves you desperately hungry. My advice, if you want the scallops, order side dishes to compensate. I’m so lucky I chose wisely. The whole fish, was a generous portion cooked quite nicely, with tender, flaky white fish pieces. Another ordered the porterhouse. The strip was cooked about medium rare, but the filet piece of it was RARE. At this point, it should have been sent back, but J being the trooper didn’t want to complain….but it was uneatable…so we perked up and finally said something. The manager said he would get it fixed and ended up bringing out a strip steak. Since they couldn’t re-cook the entire thing … they cut a smaller portion of the strip steak instead. We appreciated the efforts of the manager, but they should have just redone another filet, not a strip. Their only saving grace was the bread pudding.. very rich and tasty. If this place is supposed to be known as a “steak house” then there should be no excuses to mess up the steak in the first place. Absolute disappointment.
Must Haves: dorado (special of the day) and bread pudding
Stay Away: scallops
Ambiance: Very sleek, modern, chic, corporate feel .. not worth the money otherwise.
Service: Wonderful and accommodating of large parties.

Mood: upscale dining at its best with all the fixin’s. good for steak and seafood.
Tastes Like: blissful heaven that will put you in a food coma! share and share wisely. the popovers here are probably the best thing there is…topped with gruyere cheese. hook and bait. that’s why i’m here…and while i’m at it, i might as well enjoy a nice piece of steak or some seafood… love their tuna tartare that comes with avocados and chips. the chips give it a nice crunchy texture that go perfect with the tuna. the hubby and i shared a wagyu beef…more than enough food for both of us…. my favorite sides are the blue tater tots…killer if you like blue cheese. choose from your starches, mushrooms and vegetables to complete your meal. plentiful. nice touch with the pate as well… careful not to over eat…. there’s just way too many options here.
Must Haves: tuna tartare… blue tater tots!
Stay Away: n/a
Ambiance: super sleek, chic, modern, with another level above. beautiful ambiance for steak!
Service: pretty good as far as I can remember.

tuna sandwich
cheese steak (salad substitution)
Mood: A hearty brunch where being sober is not allowed! Unlimited champagne cocktails every Saturdays only with your choice of an entree. Doesn’t get any sweeter than this.
Tastes Like: good brunch staples plus meat or seafood….but way too heavy on the sodium. I take great pleasure in the little details….the assortment of warm bread and butter was fantastic (I hope they make their own bread) and even the coffee was surprisingly outstanding. We came here for brunch, but we got here so late, we decided for more tempting offerings like tuna sandwich & cheese steak. The tuna sandwich was a bit over seasoned with soy sauce. I would have liked it to be a bit more rare but it’s a burger, not going to complain too much. The mayo sauce on the side was key and definitely masked the saltiness. I ended up washing it down with a few bellinis. Other notables are their omelette, herbs & cheese nothing too special. The cheese steak quite frankly was possibly the best item on their menu. Which leads me to assume that the steak here is quite the wonderment. I can only imagine it to be phenomenal. Will have to come back for dinner service.
Must Haves: cheese steak. Take advantage of their unlimited champagne cocktails. My personal faves are the bellinis and blood orange with a hint of mint.
Stay Away: tuna sandwich. meh. if the tuna was fresh, there was no need to season the crap out of it. Tuna at a steak place equals disaster.
Ambiance: The restaurant has two settings, a casual café and prime steakhouse. Take your pick. The restaurant itself is located in the basement, it’s spacious and absolutely beautiful.
Service: Wonderful. Even when our waitress/waiter was not around, we never had to worry about our drinks being empty for too long.
Rating: 3 stars
Caveat: Brunch is only open Saturdays, NOT Sundays. I made that mistake once…and it’s great that they can afford to close on the biggest day of the week specifically for brunch. Oh well, you can’t win em’ all.
