| - Fancy and expensive steakhouse but worth the $$$. There is lots of street parking available in front of the restaurant and on the entire street. There's also a paid parking lot available next to the restaurant.
Went with a group of friends and got to try a bit of everything. The steaks come with a classic side but the sides are family style which means they are good for sharing. Massive portions for sides like the lobster mashed potato.
Lobster truffle mac n cheese was one of the best I've ever tried! Just the perfect amount of cheesey goodness without being overwhelmingly greasy. I could've done without the lobster, I didn't feel it added much to the dish but I am also not a huge fan of lobster in general.
My tenderloin was great - cooked perfectly, medium rare as I requested. Really tender and juicy.
Other sides we tried were jalapeño creamed corn, bacon scalloped potatoes, beets, and onion rings. Mac n cheese was the best though.
We tried a variety of the desserts - cheesecake (blueberry that day), baked Alaska, creme brûlée and lemon meringue. Cheesecake is a very classic traditional cheesecake, nothing out of the ordinary. I was pleasantly surprised with how good the lemon meringue was; perfect amount of sweetness and tart from the lemons. The baked alaska looked very pretty and was different from typical desserts at most restaurants. But the creme brûlée here was one of the best I've ever had. Perfect creamy consistency without the weird pudding like texture that some places make. Seriously, if you love creme brûlée, try this place!
I understand that this place is definitely one of the more expensive places to dine at. However, I think the quality of the food here is amazing and that you really get what you pay for. Don't eat here if you are concerned about what your bill is gonna total up to. I can't frequent this place for the sake of my wallet but would definitely keep this place in mind for special occasions and definitely recommend.
