About this business

The entire bar and restaurant is designed in dark, elegant wood with very stylish and comfortable furniture, chairs and booths--even the requisite fireplace--giving it a private club-like feeling. Beautiful multi-hued granite is used for the table tops and the bar, highlighting the overall design. The owner, Brett Anderson, (a lawyer, but we won't hold that against him) has done an excellent job of designing and furnishing the restaurant and has obviously spared no expense.

We got there just as they opened so we were seated immediately. I didn't speak with the hostess, so I cant attest to her being rude or not (as in other reviews). When we left the bar and lobby were packed. Our waiter, while not overly cordial, was polite and quiet. He was definitely right on top of things, refilling our drinks offering more bread, etc. We had Prime Rib and NY Strip steaks. all were cooked perfectly, and the sides were great. I would definitely go back.

Our family of six had dinner for the first time here on Saturday and everything was awesome -- used call-ahead seating and it worked perfectly, the hostess was friendly, large booth was just what we like, our waitress very attentive, and the food was amazing (LOVED the house salads and all the beef options we tried - 6 different ones)!!! I'm sorry some people had bad experiences, we had read the reviews and still wanted to try it and are SO GLAD we did, we will definitely be back!

I love this place! I always get the 16 oz Ribeye and it is always medium rare to perfection. Cooking it any further is a waste. I was able to call ahead and get added to the list, got seated within 20 minutes and everyone was very friendly. Their wait staff is a well oiled machinr and their food is awesome. Just saying if you get a chance, go!

My husband and I went on New Years Eve at 4:30. We were seated immediately but the line grew quickly. The service and food were absolutely amazing. My husband had the 20 oz. Porterhouse steak and said it melted in his mouth. I had the steak tip deburgo. It was absolutely delicious! We will be back very soon. Thank you!!!
