Tonight, we went to Steak & Tonic for date night, and it had its ups and downs. The lobster bisque was on point, and the bread pudding was absolutely delicious, but unfortunately, the main courses were way over salted, which took away from the meat itself. I feel like wagyu should speak for itself and be lightly seasoned instead of hidden under layers of salt. I am on the fence if I'd go back for the cost if every bite isn't exceptional. I will give credit to the staff, which far beyond exceeded expectations with great customer service and knowledge of the product.

The ambiance in the restaurant is beautiful. The alligator bites were delicious. The Surf n Turf pasta was good, but the salt overpowered the meal. The wine selection is nice. There are a lot of different options. Overall, it was a good first experience, and it's a good spot for date night. However, you can't bring birthday balloons or cake in the building. They don't allow that.

Jared was our waiter, loved his rugrats pin, super cute, and he was extremely nice, great personality, and he was a great addition to our evening. The atmosphere and vibe was actually lovely. I’m not sure if they purposely try to seat people with the same kind of vibe going on or maybe it’s a hot spot for dates but it was cute being surrounded by other couples. As we were finishing up I did see a table celebrating a birthday I think, gave me some ideas about coming back for any celebrations me and my loved ones may have. We will definitely be back. Also the food, drinks, and dessert were amazing. Don’t change the food. Try it the way the chef wants to make it.

There are little words that can describe the experience at this eating establishment. The luxury the quality and the content of every single item i had was off the charts , may not be for everyones budget but the place is definitely worth it !! Allota colada is the best drink i ever had in my life 🕺🏽

This place was amazing! My Husband had the surf and turf pasta, I had the lamb and then we shared the hot chocolate flour less cake. Absolutely delicious and so glad we went!

Absolutely delicious. Wonderful service. We book all of our milestone dinners here now and are never disappointed. Call and book the speakeasy because it is well worth it.

Had the opportunity to celebrate my birthday here with my family. The staff were so kind, accommodating and welcoming. We all had the restaurant week special and were impressed with the flavor, portions and variety of options. I highly recommend and definitely will be back!

Very nice experience! Typically, it is out of my budget but thankful for a gift card. I had the scallops and shrimp over risotto, and my husband had salmon over polenta. Great flavors and presentation. Don't skip dessert!
