"**Ambiance:** The restaurant had a dimly lit atmosphere, yet there was enough light to read the menu comfortably. It looked pretty, modern, and updated, making it a romantic spot—perfect for dates—with plenty of intimate booths scattered throughout.
**Food:** I started with the Tuna Stack, which was just okay. There wasn't much tuna, and the dish was overloaded with veggies. The number of wontons served was excessive for the small portion of tuna; I think three pieces would have been enough. The tuna and vegetables were cut into big chunks, making it difficult to use the won tons as intended.
I also tried the prix fixe menu and ordered the Caesar salad. I wouldn’t recommend it; the lettuce tasted a bit wilted and was somewhat soggy. When they tossed in the dressing, it ended up diluting its flavor. The croutons were quite moist too, lacking any crunch, which was disappointing.
The upgraded Rib Eye was flavorful and well-seasoned, served on a sizzling hot plate. However, it was overcooked due to the heat of the plate, ending up closer to medium-well instead of medium as I had ordered.
The lobster tail was a highlight—it was flavorful and perfectly cooked, moist and delicious. Even the kids enjoyed it. The garlic mashed potatoes were thick and creamy, but they didn't have a hint of garlic flavor. I felt they could have benefitted from more garlic, butter, and cream since they tended to solidify and became stiff after a little while.
The kids had broiled salmon with broccoli, which was simply seasoned and they loved it, though the broccoli was overcooked. They did present it nicely on the plate.
The Truffle Lob Mac was unexpectedly large; I thought it would be a small side, but it could easily serve as an entrée. The lobster was somewhat dry and crumbly, with a few larger pieces, but I could barely taste any truffle. The sauce was a bit runny and it didn’t feel like classic mac and cheese, more like lobster pasta in a cream sauce.
For dessert, we had rum raisin bread pudding and ice cream for the kids, which were both very good. The pudding was delicious, and the kids really enjoyed it.
**Drinks:** I ordered a glass of The Prisoner red blend, which I’ve had before, and it was delicious with the steak. However, the regular ice water was quite unpleasant, tasting oddly like Nevada desert water, which my kids also noticed. But at least it’s just tap water.
**Service:** The service was very professional and prompt from all staff members. We were greeted when we arrived and when we left. The food runner and server were friendly and attentive.
I would consider coming back, but I’d like to try different items next time. The main dishes were good, but the sides and appetizers could use more attention to detail regarding freshness and texture. Compared to other steakhouses, my experience here was average; I've had better meals. Given the price point, I expected a bit more. However, I might give it another chance in the future when things settle down."
