    Food and drinks were delicious. We had the Rack of lamb, the Filet Mignon, mash potatoes, Brussels sprouts and their famous Lobster Truffle Mac n Cheese.

    Food is always very good; service last night was off - friendly but very slow. Perhaps they were short staffed due to Easter.

    Drinks were so good, food was amazing. Highly recommend the Brussel sprouts to start! The wagyu burger and truffle fries were perfection.

    Pass. I expected a fine dining experience based on the reputation and price, but the service was rushed. We received our appetiers, and the entrees arrived immediately afterwards.  Clearly the kitchen and the server did not care. The prime rib stroganoff had only a few fatty, tasteless pieces of meat, and our server seemed eager for us to leave.
