    I started with calamari, which was lightly breaded and nicely fried with some peppers and a tasty sauce. Then I had the rack of lamb done, rare and a side of creamed spinach with bacon. The lamb was on the plate with nothing. No sauce no accompaniment just lamb on a plate. The spinach wasn’t particularly good and I couldn’t taste any of the bacon anyway. For dessert I had the peanut butter cup, which tasted like it was prefab. It was OK just a bit much. The service was very good and he was attentive. Kept my sodas filled! Unfortunately, at the end when I asked him to split the bill, he put the wrong amount on the wrong card, which caused a bit of a problem. Not sure that I really need to go back.

    From the King crab corn bisque to the Ribeye every single bite was amazing. My server Makayla took excellent care of me considering all of her suggestions were delicious and when it came to drinks she even brought out the house mixologist Lauren to create something off menu that was the best tasting drink I’ve ever had. This was a show stopping experience and the cherry on top was the frequent check-ins from the manager Jessica who made me laugh half of the night. I will be back forsure.

    So disappointed. None, and I mean none of our dishes were any good. We were there this past Friday, and it was not busy at all, and now I know why. They had to have been short staffed as well, as we had to chase down our server anytime we needed anything. This is a pretty expensive place, and we just felt like we wasted $350. I was so looking forward to the King crab legs, they were good sized, but oh my gosh did they taste just absolutely terrible. It was $130 for the worst tasting crab I've ever had. My wife's steak was cooked properly, but it was completely flavorless, even though she got it del mar style. We had a total of 4 cocktails, and 2 of them were wrong. We'll stay with Prime 47 where we've never had a bad experience. Just so, so disappointed.

    Corner booth seating a bit tight needs more room at the stomach level. But plenty of table top room, three worked good, May have been tight for four. Noise level was perfect to have business discussion without need to talk loud. Server attentive and staff covered well. Steaks were done perfectly and sides were average Brussels could have had more char or crisp to them mushrooms needed more flavor.

    A wonderfully delicious night of celebration! Our server, Omotoyosi (that’s how it’s spelled on the check) offered great suggestions, and offered the perfect mix of prompt service and letting us enjoy our meal and time together—a rare and welcome quality in a server today! From the appetizers to the flaming bananas foster it was a great evening.
