Bottom line: this restaurant is all show. We went in on a saturday night labor day weekend w/o reservations and ordered sirloin and ribeye with pork belly and heirloom tomatoes as starters. waiter brings a huge plate of raw meat stacked on top of each other and begins explaining which one is which; this is a cool show but that's about it. steaks were a bit overdone probably because the surface of the steak was real hard to begin with; i'm sure their meats were good, but just their cooking methods are questionable. Pluses: oregon pinot was excellent, pork belly was better than the steak, heirloom tomatoes were great as well. This is the 1st time that the starters were better than the entrees. Alexander's and pinot brassiere are better imo.
