We decided to try this steakhouse after our daughter raved about it; but she also warned us how expensive it is, so we went for a special occasion on our anniversary. Located where Connor O'Neill's used to be, they've totally remodeled the place and the atmosphere is very retro with velvet red seats, dark woods and very low lighting. Service was impeccable, and for me, this might be the best thing about this restaurant. Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad place at all, but considering the price, we've had better food in other steakhouses.
The menu offers classic steakhouse fare and if you want entertainment, order the Caesar Salad made table side for two. Since it would have been too much food for us and we couldn't share just one, we didn't get to taste if, but it's supposed to be amazing. Instead we got the Lobster bisque which was delicious and perfect as a starter to share.
I don't eat steak so I ordered the Halibut with Truffle Risotto, Wild Mushroom, Romesco and Fennel which was very good. My husband who is the beef eater ordered the King's Cut Ribeye, and was shocked to be disappointed with a more than $70 ribeye. The meat was perfectly cooked, but the problem was with the total lack of marbling this piece of meat is famous for. It's the first time my husband complains about a ribeye (the only cut he orders when we visit a steakhouse), so I trust his judgement. Thinking about it, I wonder if it was a mistake and he got a different cut, it was so strange (especially after talking to our daughter who had a good experience with her ribeye). Otherwise, the sides and sauce were fine, nothing exceptional.
For dessert, we had the Key Lime Pie, the consistency was too soft for me, but my daughter told me she likes it that way, just a matter of preference.
Thanks to the perfect service our dinner felt special, and it was, considering the price. We had a good time, but for the food, I don't think we'd go back, we can get better in other steakhouses.
