The decor of the place is great, I especially liked the bar with reddish glass all around. It's one of the first things you notice about the restaurant and I do have to say, they've done it right.
Our party shared the gigantic seafood tower with oysters, prawns, king crab legs, crab claws, and lobster as an appetizer. It was a 3-tiered UFO looking thing that landed on our table, complete with dry ice smoking at the top. I'm not the hugest fan of lobster or crab but my dining partners thought it was excellent. I enjoyed the prawns and oysters immensely.
The Swordfish I ordered left something to be desired (don't know what I was thinking ordering fish at a steakhouse) but I didn't like it very much, it was bland and a bit too firm for my liking. I also was disappointed to see farmed salmon on the menu, and it wasn't cheap either! I wouldn't expect farmed fish at any restaurant this expensive.
However the sides we got were TO DIE FOR! The lobster mashed potatoes and crab gnocchi made up for the fish. They were so decadent and insanely tasty, each bite was like a piece of heaven, and I don't even like crab or lobster by themselves so that's saying a lot!!
Our server recommended the butter cake with ice cream on top. It came with a vat of homemade whipped cream, larger than the size of the cake to dip it in. You could have given me a spoon and I would have just eaten the whipped cream alone! Also had the creme brule. I've had better but it was still good.
It was definitely spendy. Don't know if all the food is necesarally worth the price but I would go back just for the sides and also to do it proper and get a steak!
