What to Order
Ribeye Duo
This option offers excellent value and quality, featuring perfectly cooked, tender ribeye with a delightful charbroiled taste.
"This time I went for the ribeye duo and that was probably the best best option for quality and price point! The meat was perfectly cooked to medium rare, so tender and love the slightly charbroiled taste from the grilling."

Beef Tartare
A consistently fresh and flavorful appetizer that many diners rave about.
"Beef tartare was so fresh and tasty. Literally nothing we ever ordered disappointed us."
Scarlette N.
Lobster Bisque
A rich and flavorful soup, often highlighted for its excellent taste, though sometimes noted for its small portion size.
"The lobster bisque was top tier."
Solis Boughner
Brussels Sprouts
These brussels sprouts are so good they've been called a top-tier dish by some, perfectly done and a favorite side.
"My fiance genuinely said after the fact that those brussels sprouts are now in his top 5 favourite meals ever."
Solis Boughner
Creme Brulee
A classic dessert with a perfectly caramelized sugar crust and a rich, satisfying egg custard beneath.
"As for desserts, the creme brulee was great with the layer of caramelized sugar crust burnt just right, and with an rich egg custard below."
Jim Chan
Salted Caramel Gelato
Considered by one reviewer to be the best gelato they've ever had, this dessert is a standout.
"The best thing on the menu was the salted caramel gelato, literally the best gelato I’ve ever had!"
Ruby River
Truffle Popcorn
A complimentary pre-meal snack, this popcorn is generously flavored with truffle and highly addictive.
"The truffle popcorn is heavy on truffle but I'm all over it. Had 2 bowls and then got one in a to go box from my awesome server."
Jeff Schauff
"Not Cheese" Bread
An upscale take on pan bread, featuring top-quality Parmigiano-Reggiano that's often comped for first-timers.
"It's basically an upscale version of the old Jack Astor's pan bread for those of you who join me in continuing to mourn its loss. Not all parmigiano-Reggiano is created equal. There are in fact different levels of quality to it and these guys have the absolute top of the line."

Inside Scoop
- Let them know if you're celebrating a special occasion; they often provide handwritten cards or other thoughtful touches.
- Ask your server for recommendations, as many are highly knowledgeable about the menu, wine pairings, and even the sourcing of their beef.
- The "Happy Meal" special and date night promotions offer great value and are worth looking into.
- If you don't drink alcohol, you can often substitute wine pairings in promotions for mocktails or extra desserts.
- The third floor can feel like an overflow space and may be less intimate than the main floor.
