While the pleasant waitstaff and contemporary decor were appreciated, the food suffers from some "diminishing skills" when compared to a very competitive group of steakhouses in the Greater Cleveland area. The steak was a little rubbery and not at the quality level expected of a higher-end steakhouse. The kitchen did, however, manage to accurately cook the steak at the requested "medium rare plus" (the "plus" is thrown in just as a test). Surveying, but not partaking, in the salad bar ($7 with entree, $16 alone), the available options were pretty standard (albeit a little limited) but with some highlights like roasted carrots and anchovies. As for sides, the Brussels Sprouts were bland and could have used more roasting; their taste saved only by the addition of bacon. The Carbonara Mac & Cheese was decent, but (save for an unweildly gob of cheese placed on top of the dish) disappointing lacking in the cheesy decadence throughout that usually accompanies similar steakhouse offerings. Food-wise, you would do much better for yourself at any of the higher-end steakhouses downtown or maybe even some a short 15-minutes away in Independence.
