| - If I could give this 5 stars for the steak and 0 stars for the atmosphere I'd do that, but I can't so I'll split the difference, even though you can't really divide by zero in a case like this.
First visit was on my birthday, my friends and I ate downstairs at 6 on a Saturday and the place was busy, but quiet, the food was awesome and the waitstaff very nice. I ordered a special aged prime rib and it was fork tender and delicious, and they even brought me Bearnaise sauce (even though that is not traditionally served with prime rib) without a weird look.
Chose to come again for a second event a few months later. That time we were seated upstairs and wound up next to an extended table of guests who clearly had a huge bar tab running and were getting louder and more obnoxious with each course. We asked the server if we could move or he/manager could ask them to tone it down a bit but no luck with either, so we got some to-go bags and took most of the food home where we could eat in peace.
Hoping that this was an isolated event, we came back for a third trip and asked to be put in the "quietest" part of the restaurant. We were led upstairs and put into an alcove. The restaurant itself was quiet, we were there ahead of the bar crowd, this was also 5:30-6:00 or so on a weekday, but the alcove had audio speakers mounted in the ceiling above us and whatever generically bad "music" was coming through them seemed to be turned up to 11. We asked the server to get them turned off or turned down to no avail, we then asked again and it got turned to 10.5. because, as it was explained to us, the "music" is for everyone and everyone must be able to hear it over the increasingly raucous bar crowd that was assembling.
My dinner companion actually reached up to see if the wires could be disconnected but they were hidden, so he wrapped my ski jacket around the speakers and that muffled it to about 8.5. That appeared to get the manager's attention because they rushed over with a concerned look and asked us why there was a jacket hanging from the ceiling. We explained that the "music" was overwhelming us and it was either them turning it down or us leaving the jacket floating up there like that. The "music" got turned to 6, at best, and we ate our meal, (which was not as good as the first time) quickly and then left.
So my 2 star recommendation to diners is this: If you want a good expensive steak and don't mind a loud atmosphere, check this place out.
