| - We went out last night for a nice dinner with friends. This restaurant delivers when it comes to steak and seafood, but misses on many other levels. First of all, despite having reservations, out table was at the top of some stairs, high traffic and loud music made for an unpleasant initial experience. The prawn and scallop appetizers were very good, and both couples ordered the Dry aged Tomahawk Rib-Eye, which was very flavourful. However the Wine List is outrageously expensive-think-3-4x actual cost. We had a Beringer Knights Valley for 89$, this is a 29$ bottle. Also the desserts were a catastrophe. We had already send back our "espresso" drinks, as they were cold and thin, no crema at all. The chocolate cake was like eating Mortar and Lath...awful. The cheesecake was ok, but my 14 year old daughter could have come up wit the recipe. At that point, after complaining about the table and sending back the espresso, I just didn't feel like complaining anymore. 500$ plus tip...you expect a lot more. Can't imagine it will stick around for the long haul.
