Wow, I am very shocked at the reviews for this place and seem to see a common trend in them which blows my mind. Ok so I get people hate the idea of cooking their own food and feel that when going to a restaurant you should not have too!
However I have to say this place was rock or I should say stone solid!
I wish this place was open in California and better yet near or in the San Francisco Bay Area! What a cool concept and great eat eats. So here is how it all works people...
This is your typical steak place offering you several cuts of steak and some seafood. The idea here is you get your cut of steak or seafood and it comes on a stone. Now this stone is uber hot and allows you to cook your own steak and cook it how you like it. However you do not need to be a cook to be successful. In other words, you'd have a hard time burning the hell out of your steak or under cooking it where it is a bloody mess. Basically the stone allows you to slowly cook your streak while cutting nice bite size chunks away and fully cooking them to your own specification.
This allows two things in my book. 1) Keeps each bite nice and hot 2) Lets face it, it's a cool idea and adds the primal adventure of man cooking meat!
Now let me just say the cuts of meat are indeed good. These are no cheap cuts that will be tough or hard to cut through with your teeth/knife. The other cool thing is the dipping sauces they provide. They allow you to choose from sauces. Some are simple, while others are more fusion like.
Overall this was a great eat, fun place, and I thought it was cool. I would not recommend this for children, that stone is super hot so the chances of burn are pretty good. But like anything else you should know how to approach such situations.
