| - Went here with folks from my new employer -we started in the upstairs bar area, overlooking the financial district. great martinis and people watching. Attentive and professional waitstaff.
After our drinks, we moved downstairs for a table - we were early so service was extra prompt and attentive. Ended up with the rare 12 oz Canadian prime strip steak and Brussels sprouts with lardon. Both cooked to perfection, what you would expect for a place of this price point/ calibre. Probably 8 or 9 steaks landed at the table that night, raves all around. An off-menu Steak Tartar arrived, also prepared to absolute perfection. Be warned, the price will reflect the quality of the dishes ingredients.
The wine list could get you into big trouble if that's your bag.
All in all a very good meal with great location and atmosphere.
Some of the other reviews here based on clientele and cost are misleading, or unfair in my opinion. You are eating in the middle of the banking district of a large city, at a swank upscale a la carte restaurant run by a celebrity chef, and you are upset you are surrounded by bankers and their model-esque dates? Perhaps I am the typical dumb american, but what crowd should I expect at that location? starving artists and nuns? And I saw that 35 dollar burger across from my 50 dollar steak, and it looked damn good. Give this place a try, we all enjoyed it thoroughly.
