    Easily the best part of our dinner was our server-so sad that I didn’t write down his name. Perfect amount of expertise, attention and sense of humor.

    Wonderful atmosphere. Superior, impeccable, professional service. Number one choice for steak dinner in Seattle. The mandatory 20 percent service charge, which goes entirely to management and not the server, has a chilling effect on the overall experience and makes calculating the gratuity the server deserves more difficult.

    Our very experienced server was distracted and slow to take our order. We ordered cocktails and I also ordered a glass of the Met Cab to come with the steaks. She forgot it several times and I finally got it. It seemed service was not up to their usual since they changed to the 20% service charge. The food was still excellent.

    Yummy steakhouse went for birthday, food service! The noise level was just perfect and able to have family conversations. We all ordered steak, a little on the rare side but still delicious. Would definitely recommend. Service was good!
