However, as a steakhouse, it's good. I conspired with a friend to share his steak with bordelaise sauce, and both were delicious. In turn I got the skate and shared it with him. It was good, but not great - I was expecting more of a creamy sauce as is common in French fish preparation. But it was pretty dry and of course so were the garlic chips and the veggies on the side. Bread was nice and warm. Their creme brulée was so-so - they definitely left the torch on for too long on a couple parts of the shell, and I got a bitter, burnt taste in my mouth.
Oh, and at the beginning of the meal 5 of us shared the scallop appetizer, which was good, but not good for the $16 it cost us.
They have an alright wine list and this is the first place in recent history that I've been to where I can get Pouilly-Fuissé by the glass -- which is great, because I'm too cheap to get a whole bottle.
Not cheap, but worth going to if you want to get a good steak. Just don't look at it as a French restaurant.
