Absolutely perfect. I rarely leave reviews but I'm leaving one still at the table. Awesome food, dessert, drinks, staff. And we actually finished everything on our plate.

So good that we had our wedding here!! The service, food and ambiance has always been top notch, so instead of planning a complicated wedding with lots of moving parts including food vendors coming to us, we decided to cut out all the extra steps and have it at a restaurant. They were so wonderful and accommodating, especially Julie (their event person). Their wonderful help and kindness took so much stress out of my big day and everything went off without a hitch. So incredibly thankful for everything they did for us!

Food was amazing. Stage left burger is the best burger I’ve ever had. I highly recommend! Waters were constantly being filled, and waitress recommended combinations of food that were delicious.

While the night started off lovely, the service turned abysmal pretty quickly. We got our drinks then our appetizer, but when we asked for more crostini to finish our appetizer we had to ask three different servers to receive them and too many minutes later. We tried to order wine before the dinner course arrived and our server forgot the one that was already ordered and only when the manager caught my eye did we get the rest. One who just reordered what she already had was brought the wrong wine. Given all the frustration we had already experienced, our server apologize saying that dessert was on the house. What that actually meant was only one dessert we ordered was on the house, and it took 10 minutes just to get the dessert menus then 25 minutes to get the one warm dessert we ordered and 35 minutes to get the cold desserts. We told the staff repeatedly we had a show to get to. Eventually we had to ask the manager to refund the cold desserts because by the time they finally arrived we had to leave. We never really received a recognition of how they dropped the ball over and over again, which made an otherwise tasty meal very stressful and ultimately unpleasant.

I had an amazing experience here. A waiter by the name of Chris was very attentive and had amazing recommendations. Even the cheapest steak was amazing. The drinks were superb, so whoever was working the bar on 9/19 deserves some praise.

We got there early and were promptly seated with no fuss. Place was fairly empty at first but when we left it was full. The dry aged porterhouse had a fantastic dry aged flavor. Aviator drink was good. Caprese mozzarella appetizer was tasty as well. Server was generally pleasant. Truffle fries are large wedges, which were very good. Onion rings were not great but had some type of seasoning on it i just didn't care for (my taste buds... others might like it). My only complaint was that our table never received any bread at the start. At first I figured this was just one of those places that didn't do that, but as we left (from sitting all the way in the back, which was nice) I noticed several other tables with bread. That said, for the dry aged steak flavor, I would definitely return... hopefully with some bread next time.
