| - This was to be a treat for my wife on Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, it was not as intimate and romantic as hoped. First, the good part. Our food for the most part was very good. Our steaks were cooked exactly as requested. Very flavorful and tasty with a nice crust. The caesar salad was nothing more than ordinary. We had a side dish of truffle tater tots -- nice and hot and crusty, but lacking any hint of truffles. Now, the disappointing part. The place is elegant with lots of glass, roaring fireplace, and all the other trappings of a fine dining establishment, but the noise level was way above distraction. On the very top of the decibel level, was the droning voice of a live vocalist which only made it worse. At our first seating, we were given a table that separated us apart by four feet. We had to shout to each other to be heard. We noticed an empty booth near the opposite wall and asked to be re-seated. They offered a smaller table instead, which was an improvement, but did not solve the sense of intimacy or the level of loud noise. If you're just interested in very good food, this is the place. But, if you expect more than that for your top dollar, look elsewhere.
