"Let's discuss the positives first: The ambiance is truly remarkable. The interior designer of this restaurant did an excellent job. It creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels upscale. Each room has its own unique vibe, with lovely trim work on the walls and moldings.
Now, onto the negatives: The service started off well but gradually declined. My water was never refilled, and when our bottle was empty, we weren't even offered more. I've never experienced a restaurant that doesn't package your leftovers for you. Our server simply dropped off the boxes and wished us a nice evening. I was quite surprised by that. After spending $200, having to box up my own food was disappointing.
I ordered the ribeye because the pictures made it look like a fantastic choice. We also opted for the "three for $35" sides, choosing broccolini, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese. Since our dinner reservation was later in the evening, we only had the cornbread as an appetizer. Unfortunately, nothing was enjoyable; it looked appealing but didn't taste good. My steak was a poor cut, and for an $85 steak, the quality was subpar—even in the dim lighting, it appeared gray. The sides were mediocre at best; the mac and cheese was essentially just noodles with melted cheese on top. Typically, these are standout dishes at steak restaurants. We even brought the leftovers home for our 2-year-old, who usually enjoys these items, but she wouldn’t eat them either.
It’s possible that the food was off that night since I arrived at 9:30 PM and didn't get my meal until 10:45 PM, suggesting they might have been short-staffed. However, I wouldn't return to this restaurant unless it was just for drinks or if there were an event that made the ambiance appealing. I hope this review provides some insight into what you can expect."
