High scale restaurant. Decor is beautiful and near Disneyland. They have $35 dinner menu that includes a salad or soup and a main course. Waitress is very attentive and friendly. We truly enjoy our meal.

The food was great, you really cannot beat a filet for $40 with sides! We also had the chocolate bag (delish), wine, cocktail, and decaf coffee w our dessert. It was all great. The fresh bread to start was amazing. The two things that were not great; I asked for my steak medium well. It came out medium rare. They seemed annoyed to fix it for me, but I had to get it cooked longer. Secondly, the music played in the restaurant is not great for the atmosphere. Shake it off by Taylor swift is playing in a nice steak and seafood restaurant? I wish it was changed

Great food, excellent atmosphere, and even better food. Great family dining environment and excellent spot for a night out. I got the steak, medium rare, and it was delicious. Would come back again!

Went in for Happy Hour which runs 3.30-6.30pm daily. The website advertised a special $2 taco deal during Happy Hour which is what bought us out to the restaurant, so it was disappointing to learn that they had "stopped this just a couple of weeks ago." We ordered Bruschetta and some cheap cocktails. All in all, good value, but a shame about the tacos

My boyfriend and I had made reservations about a week in advance, and when we got there about 20 minutes early they seated us immediately. They had room like areas with curtains for extra privacy, which we loved. The waiters were very attentive and we ordered calamari rings, a seafood pasta, chicken and broccoli and a chocolate berries and cream dessert. As someone who is new to food like calamari, the rings tasted fantastic. I tried a side of lobster mashed potatoes with my chicken and that was also delicious. Although we spent around $150, the experience and food was worth it.

Our server, a woman, didn't get her name, as very rude to us. Everything was way overpriced for the amount you get and the taste. There were 13 of us and we got two baskets of bread. When we questioned her about it, she got nasty and said that is what their protocol is. We didn't argue and eventually she brought another basket. That was the beginning and it got worse. We will not be returning there and that was the 3rd time we'd been there. She was a nightmare. This was Sunday night the 23 of February.

Walked in randomly to check the place out. Good steak, great atmosphere, and cost effective, steaks will run around the $40-50, but everything was delicious and they do make sure your steak is to your liking. My server Adrian was very professional, always checking in, and an overall good guy. I highly recommend this place if you want a good steak with an up-class experience.

Near Disneyland - we sat at the bar as usual 😊 drinks were good and the food was delish. We had filet mignon and lobster tail and they were cooked to perfection. The server was wonderful.The vibe is dark and moody.👏👏👏
