| - My boyfriend and I came here on valentines day last week. When we arrived, we were told there would be a short wait, which was no big deal to us. We only ended up waiting 5 minutes.
This is a very fancy and dressy place. It is also on the pricey end. They offered a free coat check, which I really appreciated.
Our waitress was great. I expected the service to be a little slow, but she was very on top of things.
While we waited to be seated we ordered drinks which were poured well. Excellent selection for wine, although I am not a wine drinker. Slightly disappointed they didn't have sangria which is the one wine I do drink.
Everything is ala carte which I did not like. All the sides had to be ordered separately and for an additionally large price.
We ordered French onion soup and sweet Chile pepper calamari for appetizers. The French onion soup was very good, but I highly recommend the calamari. I was hesitant to order it at first, because it is commonly served with marinara and lemon, but this was worth the try!
As entrees we ordered the filet mignon with a side of garlic mashed potatoes and the sliced filet mignon with a side of king crab legs. The regular filet mignon (whole steak) was prepared excellent. The garlic mashed potatoes were a bit over priced for me, but tasted fine. You can't really fancy up mashed potatoes or they'll be bad, so we were fine with what we got. The sliced filet mignon could have been prepared a little better, I felt they could've gotten a better medium rare cook that I requested if they would've cooked the steak as a whole then slice it. The king crab legs were prepared very well. The portion sizes of everything are rather on the small side, but if you go to any high end restaurant they're always like that.
The wine manager stopped by to ask us how our food was. I find it very nice when managers take time to stop by and speak to their customers. I saw him stop by a few other tables, as well.
We had no room for dessert but everything looked excellent on the menu.
Unfortunately this restaurant is a bit out of our price range for a weekly visit, but we will return again if we get another gift card or for a very special occasion.
