   My boyfriend was a huge fan of the 14 o Australian wagyu steak…would not stop talking about how amazing and incredible it was since he gets it everytime he goes here. But this time around the steak had an interesting marinade on it that it usually isn’t on and we found out it was a new marinade that was started last week. It takes away the flavor of the original Wagyu steak. The beauty of Wagyu is that it doesn’t need a marinade…why would they do that :( but we still love this place just probably would not get the LB Signature Steak again since we knew what the original steak tasted like and this one isn’t half as tasty as the original. The service was amazing, ambiance incredible, and even in a dining room full of people it still felt very intimate.

   Fair lunch yesterday afternoon. The dining experience was a bit hit and miss on this visit. We started with their bread service and the calamari appetizer. The calamari was good. This was our first time trying their calamari and we were surprised to find it served in a bowl sitting in the sauce. An odd serving choice. Entrees, my wife went with the salmon and her mother with the chicken, which they both enjoyed. Unfortunately, my meal didn’t go so smoothly. The kitchen missed and then missed again on preparing my filet Mignon. Requested medium rare was served raw! The refire attempt was hardly improved. So, mushy red raw, usually evidence of a steak brought out of refrigeration directly to the grill. Serious rookie grill man mistake! Kind of unimaginable a higher end steakhouse would error so egregiously. For my side, I decided to try their onion rings and they were delicious! Crispy, beer battered variety. Celebrating a birthday, we enjoyed their interesting take on a chocolate ganache cake, spiced up a bit with a Korean spice. Service was attentive and friendly. Atmosphere is pleasant and relaxed.

   Food was great this time! Tender steaks. Service could’ve been improved however since they were slow and never available when we needed it. Also, our server was very pushy with ordering things we did not want.

   Went here with for my mothers birthday and was not disappointed! Our server was very personable and made sure to check on us often. The food was on the pricer side but well Wirth the price, me and my partner shared the tomahawk for 2 ( could have easily fed 3 ) my mother had the lobster tail with a petite filet ( very good from what she said) the lobster was not over cooked and had was pretty meaty. My stepfather has the the ribeye which also had a very good flavor. We shared the sides which were very good as well stand outs were the Brussel sprout and the mashed potatoes, the Mac and cheese was pretty plain and middling to say the least but overall delicious food good cocktails great service

   Not a good value for the money I spent. Both NY Strip steaks at the table were warm and dry. Add that there is a charge for water plus living wage on top of an entree that was not good, it was a disappointing experience.
