Came here to celebrate my birthday early with my family. Parking is street or structure, but thankfully we got here on a week night and everyone was able to find parking.
The ambiance of the restaurant is nice, more modern and decorated accordingly for the name. We got seated in a booth that was kind of a tight squeeze, but had a great view of the rest of the restaurant.
Our server was very friendly and personable. She explained the menu and chef specials well, answering any questions we had along the way. She was attentive to our water and drink glasses, and frequently checking on us for refills. Our entire party enjoyed her and she definitely elevated our experience.
We ordered 2 appetizers: the jumbo shrimp cocktail and the chef's selection ceviche. The cocktail was great, the shrimp were a nice size. I couldn't get past the crackers for the ceviche, I was expecting tortilla chips or something equivalent, so the texture and mouthfeel were off.
Main entrees we ordered the following: center cut filet with scallops, seafood capellini, lobster ravioli, t-bone, and chef's special #1. We also got some sides: garlic mashed potatoes, sautéed wild mushrooms, and baked Brussel sprouts. Didn't hear many complaints about anyone else's food, but for mine I feel my center cut filet was a little over cooked. I asked for medium and it came out medium well, however, the scallops tasted great! All of the sides were delicious as well, but I think the Brussel sprouts were too sweet.
For dessert we had the following: complimentary birthday dessert (chocolate mousse cake), limoncello sponge cake with marscapone, dessert of the day (crème brûlée), and NY cheesecake. Again, no complaints from our party, everything tasted great.
Overall, we all had a nice time. The reason for my 3-stars is that I felt some of the dishes were slightly lacking and it wasn't enough to get me to return here. My family, however, enjoyed this place more than I did and will most likely be returning. It was a nice place to try out, but would not be my go to for a special occasion/steakhouse.
