We came here for our anniversary and wow everything was just so good. The steak was super tender and flavorful, and the appetizers were delicious too. The vibe was really nice and cozy, and the lighting made it easy to take great photos. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but totally worth it for a special night out. Would definitely come back

We chose III Forks to celebrate our anniversary, and it turned out to be the perfect decision. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance struck the perfect balance between upscale elegance and warm intimacy—ideal for a special evening. The service was exceptional. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, offering thoughtful recommendations and ensuring everything ran smoothly. And the food? Absolutely phenomenal. The steak was perfectly aged, grilled to our exact specifications, and bursting with flavor. Each bite was a reminder of why steak is a celebration-worthy dish. I recommend getting the dry aged or wagyu steak and sacrifice the sides if you're on a budget. If you're not on a budget, by all means, indulge yourself. To top it off, they surprised us with a beautifully plated dessert to honor our anniversary, which added a personal and memorable touch. We left feeling full, happy, and grateful for an experience that went above and beyond. Highly recommended for any special occasion—or anytime you just want a flawless meal.

We had so much fun! The food was absolutely fantastic and our server Michael made the entire experience truly unforgettable. The staff made us feel so celebrated for our birthday dinner. Try the chicken fried lobster!

Had a family gathering to celebrate an exam, and everyone was taken care of. There were even a couple next to us that were fighting, and they were calmed down. Highly coming back. Allow yourself to try the Ribeye Cap with kings butter. Perfectly cooked at medium. The filet minion had no complaints and held an excellent taste. Their lobster bisque was AMAZING!. Our sides were sharable and delicious. The mash potatoes, asparagus, and lobster mac and cheese were divine. If you tell the staff that you're here to celebrate an accomplishment, birthday, or anniversary, they will bring you a special dessert surprise. My only complaint is that it's a bit dark, and the bread came out towards the end of our appetizers. Other than that. The drinks were good. Staff were sweet and accommodating.

Came here to celebrate my promotion. Yay! Ashley did such a great job taking care of us, very friendly, vey attentive. She even offered some dessert and drinks to congratulate me on the event. The food is really good. I especially like their fried brussel sprouts as a side, the best I’ve had so far. They also took a picture and print it out for us. All in all, they got all the good things checked. Will come back to try different dishes here ❤️

Love III Forks. My favorite steakhouse of all time. Whenever we visit Austin, the only place we go for dinner. On Friday April 25 my wife and I had amazing service and food. We come here once or twice a year and it’s incredible how they remember us. Ernest and Tarek were great and stopped by to make sure we were taken care of and our expectations were being met. Rama, our waiter was so professional, explained the menu and made incredible recommendations. The food was outstanding as usual, the seafood tower, so fresh and delicious as well as our steak and side. The best! Can’t wait to come back again.

III Forks Austin is an absolutely wonderful steakhouse. Even the salad was outstanding. The service was great, the food was better, and I love that they offer tomatoes and green onions with your entree. Five stars

We had such an amazing dinner. A vendor took my colleagues and myself out to dinner. We took advantage of ordering some appetizers, salads, soups, steaks, desserts, and drinks. Our server, Edgar, was great throughout our dinner. He answered all of the questions that we had and he made great recommendations. The Wagyu steak melted in my mouth, it was amazing. We were able to easily share the sides and desserts so we were able to try more things. The creamed corn was one of our favorite sides. I hope I can come here again.

We had a decent meal just before a show up the street. It was lively up front, but we were seated in the back room for some reason. It was fine for us. We were 1 of 2 tables occupied, then a party of about 6 were seated. We got a couple of the house cocktails to get us started. She had the love potion, and I think I had the bees knees. I don't remember. She ordered a Caesar salad and spinach & artichoke dip. She didn't finish it. It seemed to have more dip than spinach or artichoke. I ordered the bacon wrapped ribeye cap and kings butter. The steak was good but not cooked to my desired temp. It was seasoned decently, and I finished it. I will keep this spot on my list and may try this spot again if in the area. Hopefully, I'd get to test out some other items and maybe upgrade my review.

Best steak we ever tasted . We ordered the Tomahawk and it was cooked how we wanted it. Mashed potatoes and asparagus were well seasoned. Service was outstanding. They're very attentive. Atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Celebrated our anniversary , they even served us complimentary cake slices. Took a picture of us and gave us a complimentary copy with a card. Highly recommended. Definitely going back.

Always wonderful service at III Forks! They are the perfect venue for private events. I really enjoyed the sauce that the pork chop was placed over. So much I had to order extra sauce. Definitely come dine in for a lovely date night.

This place is definitely on the pricier side because I think the least expensive item that is an entree is about $45. However, I do recommend this for a special occasion or wanting to go for a fancy date night because of how elegant it is, the quality of the food, and the professionalism from the staff and environment. I got one of the steak and their signature butter on top. I was surprised that you have to pay extra for the butter on top but it is because of the seasoning and flavor of the butter that it adds to the food versus the regular butter that it is cooked in. The steak was very mouth watering because it melts in your mouth and very easy to cut into. It is a pretty huge piece that they give you so I had to take the leftover to go. Even the next day, it still taste good and I was still able to taste the flavor of the steak and butter. It was not as good as if it was the day you ate it, but it still satisfied my craving of the restaurant.

My parents and I had an amazing dinner! I think this may have been the best steak I've ever had. Brett provided excellent service along with the whole staff. My mom and I shared a large cut of american wagyu and loved getting to pick our own knives to use and learn about as well. The bourbon maple salt was so good and they even packaged some up for me to take home. I had a great espresso martini and my dad enjoyed his vodka martini. It's a typical steakhouse inside, dark wood, dark lighting with candles/lamps at the tables, but the experience was far superior than typical!

We had such an amazing experience start to finish. The servers on our visit were friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and professional. The food was so good. There was nothing served that was not delicious. I would highly recommend the calamari and literally any of their steaks. Add the king butter. You will not regret it.

The best steakhouse experience I've ever had. I wish I remembered the servers name because he was phenomenal. The standards here are supremely evident. From the intimate interior, to the top notch service, it will remain in my memory for a long time. The steak was so good I was speechless. Definitely get the Kings butter. It's worth the cost. I didn't love the Mac and cheese though, it had a flavor, I think nutmeg, that was off putting. All the other sides were delicious. The lobster bisque I had as a starter was also wonderful. Zero complaints aside from the mac not being my jam. Would return at every possible opportunity.

This is a very lovely, upscale restaurant that is great for any fancy occasion/fancy date night. I came here for a catered event so we had a selection list to choose from, and a small fleet of waiters that took individual drink orders and selection orders from the list. The food was very, very good - I had a filet mignon steak with asparagus and mashed potatoes, lobster bisque, and Texas pecan cake. I also had a cosmopolitan to drink that was VERY strong (I was feeling the drink by the end of it granted I'm a bit of a lightweight). Overall the restaurant has good date night/graduation/celebration vibes, and is located right by the lake Austin bridge on the downtown side. Parking is a bit of a challenge, but you can also park on the other side of the bridge and walk over worst case.

What a fine dining experience! Ambiance...Perfect. Service...Perfect. Food...Perfect. From the moment we sat down, our waiter was very attentive and he offered the perfect recommendations for everything. First recommendation was the cocktail: Blackberry Smash. This drink was awesome; not too sweet, not to strong...just right. His next recommendation was an appetizer not on the menu: Chicken-fried Lobster. OMG this was one of the best appetizers I have had in my life. The lobster came perfectly fried in nuggets with this flavorful sundried tomato sauce! There was also some asparagus, but the star was the lobster and sauce. For my entrée, I went with the Eye of Ribeye Pepper Steak which was heaven. The steak was tender, flavored so well and melted in mouth. My friend enjoyed her meal as well - she ordered the Filet Mignon and Brussels Sprouts. The menu has so many great options, you can't go wrong with whatever you choose. If you are ever in the area and are looking for a quality meal, you can't go wrong with III Forks. I can't wait to go back next time I'm in Austin.

Service was impeccable, very happy about that. We had Pedro taking care of us and he was very attentive. When visiting restaurants, I always feel like I get never taken seriously due to my youth and my table would not be prioritized or treated with care, so very satisfied that wasn't the case here. We ordered the tomahawk, creamed corn, and lobster Mac and cheese to share. My friend also got the blackberry smash (tasted like sour jolly ranchers). The food was ok, I was not super impressed by it, but I'm also not unhappy with it. The lobster Mac and cheese did not have traces of lobster, and it tasted like pho lol. The cream corn was good, can't really go wrong with that. The steak was cooked fine. Overall, love the ambiance and service. Great place to take a friend for a celebratory dinner.

The steak was amazing! Great presentation and cooked to perfection. However, the lobster mac & cheese was a let down. They put tarragon in the mac & cheese and it just throws off the flavor. Otherwise, the service was excellent and the place has an elevated feel to it.

Great bang for your buck. This is one of the cheapest entrees on the menu while being one of the best tasting ones as well. The butter was amazing and the fries were top notch. The steak itself was cooked perfectly. It was extremely tender and not chewy whatsoever. This is one of the best steaks I have had at three forks.

Located on the edge of downtown near the river. $20 valet parking available next door for easy access. The ambiance was classy and upscale. The room was dim. The linens were clean. Servers were attentive and helpful. Water glass was never empty which is a huge hit for me! Our server Moe was very friendly, provided great recommendations, and embraced our special occasion. We ordered: -Love Potion cocktail -Bees Knees cocktail - garnished with fresh honeycomb -Brussel sprouts -Six cheese potatoes -Filet Mignon - medium rare -Kings butter Serving sizes were perfect for two people. The kings butter was the star of the show and absolute must! Hot take - I don't like truffle but this butter was still amazing. We ended the meal with a pecan and chocolate cake. Moe paired our desert with a one of kind Jameson and milk cocktail which was heavenly. I look forward to dining here again!

Starting with the good. Classy environment, friendly server, good drinks. I loved the way they prepared the ahi, smoky slightly cooked rims and tender tuna remains. Scallops were decent as well. Also had the chicken fried lobster- not sure it's my jam because I don't agree with using breading to cover lobsters lol the No so ideal is that the food came out very slowly, and the price point is pretty night for steakhouses

Average and below average food. Nothing was memorable. Caesar Salad was pathetic. Mashed potatoes served cold. Bread was actually stale. Spinach was a blend of well sautéed leaves with plain, uncooked spinach tossed in. We actually found a long hair in with the coating of the calamari. The fried lobster app was indistinguishable. Steaks were mediocre (yes, the up-charged butter was good; but it should come standard with the meal). The highlight of the meal had been the brussels sprouts. Service was very good. But, as an overall dining experience - not worth the money. Nothing worth returning for, won't be back...

Reservations were made for both of our birthdays, and wow what an experience. Immediately, from the time we entered the restaurant we were treated as Queens. Our waitress, Jameca was above and beyond our expectations for a server. It was very impressive to see the managers walking around, questioning each table about their service. As a leader, management by walking around is how you see the core of your employees and environment It was apparent they demanded pristine treatment. Jameca, thank you for the birthday experience and we hope you enjoyed our gift to you! Many need to emulate your professionalism and enthusiasm within the customer service business! Our next visit, we will recommend you! Hats off to the management crew and the their expectations. The food , well let's just say it's worth every Penny!

An excellent restaurant with a very classy vibe. Took a good friend here and ordered one of their sirloins. The waiter came back a few minutes later with a platter of expensive steak knives to choose from to cut my steak. Not going to lie, felt very A class and we were the VIPs...and we just walked in and chose to sit at a high-top table. A little pricier than most joins in the area but if you're going on a date, have a business dinner, or a celebration, this is the place to go! Reservation was not needed for both times I have gone but it is recommended.

This place is TOP TIER fine dining. The ambiance is so classy, and the staff are super professional and polite. I went to have dinner with my family that were visiting from out of town, and they were craving steak. They had so many options to choose from, along with lobster add ons! We enjoyed the lobster Mac and cheese, cream corn and asparagus for our sides. Everything was cafe to perfection. I was pleased with the amount of attention from the managerial staff to ensure we were having a great experience. Also the desserts were all so yummy! I enjoyed the chocolate cake, but I did did my fork in the bread pudding as well.

First time here! The waitress was very attentive and friendly. There are a lot of off menu items, so listen carefully to the waitress! Drinks- margarita and the strawberry rose sidecar. Caesar salad - they can split for you! Ordinary, ordered it to get some greens. Bone marrow (off menu) - 3pc, comes with salt, mustard, bread. Husband didn't prefer the caramelized sugar on top. Bone in ribeye - no flame like in the photos but they can check the temp and cut slices for you. Got the kings butter on the side and it was a nice compliment to the steak and on top of the mashed potatoes. The steak was medium rare. It wasn't a mind-blowing steak, but it was still delicious. All in all, it was such a wonderful experience!

My fiancée and I celebrated our 9th anniversary and could not be more pleased. The service and food at III Forks in Austin were outstanding. Eric the manager with his nice bow tie stopped by our table to congratulate us and say hello. Marie Steele, our server, was very personable, attentive and informative about the menu and drinks. At the end of the meal we were surprised with two pieces of delicious cake and a shot glass of "milk" ... Bailey's Irish cream type of drink. The host came by to take a photo and presented it to us at the end of our meal. Nice touch! We will be returning for sure! OUTSTANDING, I SALUTE YOU!!!

I want to start off by saying this rating is taking into account restaurant vibe, quality of food,service. 1. Service: when I say this was the most bizarre service I've encountered in a high class restaurant I mean it. Our server was very knowledgeable I believe his name was Rama. And we met a gentlemen named Ernest not sure if he's the owner,GM,or whatever. Nonetheless we were greeted and seated immediately with our reservation at 6:30 for 5 people. When we showed up only 3 arrived first and the last two showed up about 10 minutes later. The server was almost too tentative as we waited for the remainder of the party which is fine. The off putting part was the eagerness to get us to drink. Keep in mind this is a 6:30 dinner, not to mention not everybody at the table drinks. So when asked about drinks we said maybe we'll get around to it. It seemed as if the server was pissed we were not going to drink. An hour or so into the dinner Ernest introduced himself BUT ONCE AGAIN side comment about drinking, to the point where now everybody noticed. The third time drinks were mentioned again was after dinner when we ordered dessert. At this point I was totally checked out and made my mind I won't be returning due to this. Being a Muslim o have several friends and family that don't drink at all and the pressure to drink by staff had me very uncomfortable even the individuals who did drink were over the fact. Extremely bizarre and after announcing we're not drinking the second time service and tentativeness fell off a cliff. Still very nice staff but huge turn off point. 2. Food was decent, quality of meet was above average but cooking temps all over, seasoning poor. Sides were great the potatoes, and the corn carried the dinner. The butter was also great but an up charge.so nonthless id say good food, EXTORTIONATED prices for what you get.Would not spend the money for what you get. Portions were fair. 3. Ambiance... poor which sucks because the outside was promising. I'm sure if the service was better would've taking away from the attention we payed to the lack of vibes in an empty restaurant. Overall experience 7/10. Will potentially return but not for a long time. Austin's filled with great restaurant and I've personally been to places with half the price and 10x quality, services, and vibes. P.S we the drinking situation was beyond unprofessional Imo. I get that as a business you make a good chunk of profit off the drinks... so having a table of 5 with no drinks might be upsetting but we ordered 3 apps,5entrees, 4sides, and each of us a dessert to ourselves. Totaled tab to about 700ish with Tip, so not quite sure what the fuss was about. Both gentlemen were still very nice, but not sure what they were hoping to get across with the drinks behavior.

We moved to Austin about a year ago and have made this one of go-to's for a great dining experience. Everyone is friendly, talented and professional. Ernest, the GM, is fantastic and if you want to have some fun, ask for Mick. He does a great job and will have you laughing your head off. I didn't mention the food because it speaks for itself - the worst thing on the menu is delicious.

Absolutely incredible restaurant! I brought my wife here to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and the service, food, and ambiance were PERFECT! We were looking for a nice, quiet place to celebrate while in ATX and this place went above and beyond! We sat at a high top in the bar area and the bartender and wait staff were impeccable and super friendly. Service was immediate and they anticipated our every need. Also, one thing I'm particular about is having a glass of red when my steak arrives. I always ask, but a lot of times it's forgotten. But not here! As soon as the steaks were on the table, the server set down a fresh pour of the cab I requested. Then, to top it all off, I mentioned we were celebrating our 10 year anniversary and they surprised us with a nice dessert, congratulations from the staff, and a photo of us. Truly wonderful experience!! Highly recommend!

While I am more of a pub guy, I can appreciate a good steakhouse. A recent visit to III Forks in downtown Austin for my girlfriend's work dinner turned out to be a phenomenal experience. Earnest ushered us into our private room like a secret service agent protecting a dignitary, oozing class and professionalism. Gina, Rama, and Ben were polite, prompt, and incredibly efficient in greeting us with drinks and appetizers. They later were reminiscent of orchestra conductors in taking orders and serving food to a large group. This was literally some of the best service I've ever seen. The food was fantastic: overwhelmingly fresh ingredients and choice selections put together by a chef who obviously is a master of the craft. The interior of the restaurant was exceptionally clean and comfortable without being stuffy. Everyone in our party seemed very happy with the dinner, and I can say truthfully that I was resoundingly impressed. My compliments to the staff of III Forks.

Unfortunately I was disappointed in 3 forks from the food to the service they sat us in the corner buhide a pillar so this could explain the unitentive service our server only really came to take the order and to drop of the steak even the runners did relley refill water and there were only a few tables at that time I did notice when going to the bathroom they were to busy looking at there phones for the food 1st was the lobster fried steak it tasted like calamari the sauce was good I think I rather order the calamari and ask for that sauce the onion soup was horrible tasted like salt water had barely any onions don't think they use gruyere only ate two bits of that the manager did come a takenit off ribey steak was ok it was cook right had a good beefy flavor that the only thing that saved this place the deserts was just I would skip them

Although I have been here many times, I wanted to do an updated review. We decided to hit the happy hour that is in the bar section M-F from 4-6. The happy hour menu has both food and drinks and is really a good deal. We got some drinks and started with oysters ($2 each in happy hour). We also got the calamari- both really good. For my meal I wanted something different so I got the chicken fried steak, it comes with potatoes and green beans and is a large portion for about $36, a steal. My boyfriend got a New York Strip with the King Butter, such a great pair. We love the creamed corn and the asparagus. To round it out we got the chocolate cake and the bread pudding- both amazing. We had attentive, friendly service but we did have a little issue with the bill where I was charged twice for the wine bottle but it was handled quickly and gracefully. This restaurant is always clean and moody and feels so nice to be dining in. I love the chicken fried lobster too, skipped out this time but will get it the next.

Since living in Austin, I've heard about III Forks, but never made the reservation until now. So for date night, we chose to give a try and it was really good. First off, I felt underdressed as we walked up to the front door as customers came out in suits and black cocktail dresses. We were dressed nice, but not that nice. And the wait staff, they are dressed to the nines as well! But no one ever commented on our attire and within 30 minutes, several other tables had arrived in the nice similar attire that we had chosen. We started the night off with drinks and the bread they bring to the table. My husband had the Purple Cowboy cab and I had a mixed cocktail. We then ordered our main dishes without an appetizer because we really wanted dessert. My husband ordered the New Strip and added the King's butter as a topping. I ordered the prime double-cut pork chop with serrano peach BBQ sauce and balsamic glaze and a side of fried brussel sprouts. The rumors about the King's butter are true. It is fantastic on the steak. And the pork chop! The pork chop is probably the best I've ever had. The two sauce work amazingly together. However, the fried brussel sprouts had a good flavor profil but were underwhelming and soggy. We had our eye on the prize and ordered the creme brulee. It was amazing! It was taller than any other one I've had before, but the top had the nice crisp melted sugar concoction with fruit and there was a hint of lemon and it was delicious. All and all a good experience.

Mine and my husbands server was absolutely amazing. She was well aware about everything on the menu and very accommodating. She gave us fresh bread to go and put our desert away separately for us both to e joy our own slice of cake ! We went there for New Year's Eve ! I was able to watch the fireworks from my seat. All the hosts gave us champagne to toast to at 12am !!! The inside is stunning and they have overnight parking in the garage next door ! It was absolutely perfect. We ordered the Surf and Turf that was a special actually. The steak was Devine and my lobster was perfect

Happened to be staying in Austin at the Line Hotel for a business event, and needed a quiet classy dinner spot. We ended up at lll Forks and could not have been more pleased. The quality of service and food was 5 Star plus... Server and house manager (I think) were super attentive without being overbearing. Wine list was on point and cocktails were excellent. The ambience and vibe compared to a high end restaurant in NYC, Chicago, SF or even Paris. A true gem in the heart of ATX.

Mo immediately gave us a warm welcome, gave us a thorough menu walkthrough with great recommendation, which were on point. We started us off with delicious espresso martinis and an amazing appetizer. Mo and mark served dinner with a flare, and were very attentive. Tarik the manager was great to stop by on how our dinner was. Service overall was above expectations! Also Jose T was always on point to fill our waters and ask if anything else was needed. Dinner was excellent and can't wait to come again!

I've never had a steak as good as this before. The place is very $$$ but the sides can definitely be shared between two people! Will be returning for special occasions!

Not gonna make my A-list for Prime Steakhouses. Great service and good ambiance but the real measure of a $70 steak is flavor and getting the temperature right. All 4 of our steaks were flavorful and all 4 were undercooked. Unacceptable and at that price point we won't be back.

Visiting Austin for the first time for my bday. Hubby made reservations here as a special treat and it certainly was!!! We arrived a bit early and had a cocktail at the bar. Like a well oiled machine behind the bar with friendly pros crafting great drinks. Service was excellent front start to finish. Friendly and attentive. Had the surf and turf and my husband had the speak last which was two 4 ounce filets wrapped in bacon. Sides.. potatoes and corn!! Delish! Great wine selections as well as a lovely, easy and welcoming vibe! Pricey and definitely a special occasion place, but worth it!

I had the 7 oz ribeye cap with Gorgonzola crown. This was not only the best steak I've ever had but also the best meal. It was simply incredible. I don't need to say any more other than go if at at all possible. Spend the money. It is well worth it. Also great service and atmosphere.

Oh my goodness!!! This place is a 10 out of 10. Our server Sherry was incredible. So funny and incredibly informed on the menu as well as off menu items. I got the filet with King's Butter and my boyfriend got the ribeye with the King's Butter as well. I was iffy on adding the King's Butter because it's an additional $16 but holy moly is tasted SO GOOD. It was another review on here that made me consider getting it, and Sherry said it was very good. Their mashed potatoes are soooo good. As well as the 6 cheese potatoes. I'd like to try the lobster Mac or creamed corn next. One thing we were sad about was them not having any regular Mac and Cheese available. I think they would absolutely kill it if they made one. Anyways, I cannot wait to come back!!!

The food is literally mediocre, ESPECIALLY for the price point. We got seafood, sides, appetizers and drinks. It wasn't bad, but no part of it was the least bit special, creative, or memorable. I'd go so far as to say the flavor is on the same level as Cracker Barrel, which is good, but again... $3 potatoes versus $15 potatoes. And $50 salmon that has NO special seasoning, sauce, or anything. It was as bland as the salmon I cook for my dog. Having experienced this, the only conclusion I have about it's location, pricing and stars is that it's a posh place to go for the namesake (price point, white linen service). Our server was lovely. Otherwise, I feel absolutely robbed of $300 (dinner for 2), and embarrassed that's where I took my partner to celebrate. These things happen, thank goodness for reviews. I think if you read the other reviews, including the positive ones, you'll seldom see that the recipes are outstanding. And the price point comes into play, because you'd expect that the dishes would be as outstanding as the price points, or even close, perhaps in presentation if not flavor. Neither exists. This was food I'd eat, e.g. at a franchise restaurant where you get what you pay for, quick, easy, edible, decent service. Here, you get excellent service and ambiance while you get served...a meal that should be priced 13.99. Check out the 5 star review before mine. The individual talks about parking, water, and upscale, and makes a list of items with no mention of food flavor. ‍funny part...the person mentions the delicious butter. We thought so too!!! The butter was amazing. Worth $300? Nah... Ugh...there should be a chef that's wallopping your taste buds. It should be an experience.

Grabbed dinner here before a show at the ACL theater last weekend. The steaks were delicious but maybe a bit overpriced. That being said, the staff were very friendly and the food was delicious. Overall, my husband and I had a wonderful experience. Definitely recommend if you're looking to celebrate a special occasion or just want a great steak.

We made a reservation for 9 people here and they booked us in a private room. We ended up with a couple cancellations and there were six of us dining last night. We offered to move from the private room but they let us keep it, which was great for talking business. We ordered appetizers and drinks. The service was amazing. At certain points there were three people in the room changing the table settings, clearing plates, bringing drinks, etc. It has been a long time since I have experienced this quality of service. For the main course most of us ordered steaks. The sides are served family style. We got Nashe potatoes, brussel sprouts, mushrooms. I got their 8 oz filet mignon. It was cooked perfectly and mouth watering good. We ordered desert and shared several options recommended by the waitress. All said with drinks, appetizers, food and deserts, our bill with tip was $190 per person. You could get out for under 100 if you scaled back drinks. Bottom line, it's on the more expensive side, but the quality and service matches the price. It's not a place to bring the kids, but if you have a special occasion or business dinner, you will not be dissatisfied. This is a 5 star place!

Hands down one of the best steakhouses I have ever been to and would highly recommend going to if you're ever in town. From the service to the food, everything was spectacular. We ordered 2 tomahawk ribeyes for the table and the server was kind enough to cut it up for us. For particular items on the menu, you are even able to select your own type of steak knife to eat with. They bring it out in a fancy box for you to choose from. Halfway through the meal they also give complimentary green onions and tomatoes as palate cleansers. The service was top notch as well. Our water was never low, and everyone was so attentive to our needs. We even noticed that our plate was preseasoned. Can't recommend this place enough.

The food at this place is absolutely phenomenal and the service is truly outstanding. Although we encountered a minor issue with one of our steaks being overcooked, the staff went above and beyond to rectify the situation. Not only did they bring out a new steak and remove it from the bill, but they also surprised us with complimentary shrimp cocktail and a full tray of delicious desserts. Throughout the entire experience, both the manager, Terry, and our server, Gina, made multiple visits to our table to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. I can confidently say that I have never encountered better service anywhere else.

In town for a work session and we went here for dinner. It was a table of about 10 and the service was impeccable. Seating was on time, drinks came promptly, server did a great job with the wine selections. Most of the table had the bone in filet which was great, I had the fish special which had a lobster risotto that was perfect. The table favorite was definitely the lobster Mac and cheese. Forgot to take pics which sucks because it was All wonderful
