| - As a foodie who loves fine dining and good food (legit don't mind paying stellar prices for good food), I still like a nice atmosphere and a nice vibe. While the steaks are good here, I found the atmosphere very boring. There was not much music in the background and for some reason the restaurant was pretty bright. I also found it odd that the kitchen was visible (not in a good way), and we sat right opposite it. Now, I definitely wasn't expecting an STK vibe here, but I tend to get very sleepy after eating a huge steak and having a few drinks - especially on a Friday night, after a work day. I'm not asking for loud music, but some music, and a lively atmosphere would be nice.
Now to the food - We had the 16 oz centre cut Striploin which was cooked to perfection ( had it medium well, it was yummy!). The portion was so huge that it legit took my friend and I two hours to finish the steak. I'd honestly suggest sharing the steak and then opting for sides, as they have a good selection, and looked really yum! The complimentary bread they gave was nice, as the waiter informed us that the steaks would take about 45 minutes, but I think it was out within 30 minutes. We didn't have space for dessert, but their cheesecake looked good.
The drinks menu is on a tablet, which is fun I guess? Wine list was somewhat extensive and very pricey. Cocktail menus were extensive as well and I opted for a cosmopolitan, which wasn't on the menu, but my waiter was happy to accommodate. I don't think they give tap water here, because our server served us with evian, without asking our preference e.g tap/bottled, or sparkling/flat.
Our waiter was very friendly, and even offered to give us a tour when we were done eating. However, he made a mistake in our order and we got charged for a more expensive steak. My friend alerted him of this error and he was happy to adjust the bill. Not sure if this happened to anyone else, but just make sure the server takes the right steak order. We actually ordered the 12 oz centre cut Striploin but got served the 16 oz version ( I kept wondering why the portion was so huge, LOL) and didn't realise this until the bill came. We felt bad not paying for what we ate, but didn't think it was fair to pay for the server's mistake. P.S I really like the waiter outfits with the suspenders :-).
It's definitely worth checking out, and maybe I'll be back in the winter because it gets boring frequenting the same steakhouses all the time. It definitely also depends on the vibe you are looking for. If you want a very quiet dinner and have no festivities planned after, this place is for you. The restaurant is pretty new, so maybe there would be some changes/improvements soon.
