| - Sooo, it took us longer than it should have to find the door. In our defense, we found ourselves wandering around outside with another couple having the same trouble. There's a big sign on the wall, but you totally miss it if you're coming from the parking deck. Oops.
Once we entered, we were greeted promptly, but there seemed to be a little bit of chaos at the hostess stand. Our reservation was for 6:30 pm on a Saturday, and the place wasn't too packed when we got there, but it was hopping when we left!
Our waitress was great - personable, helpful with decisions, and pretty prompt (until the end when we waited a pretty long time to get a port - but she totally acknowledged it, which I really appreciated). We started with the pork ravioli since it's not an appetizer you see anywhere else, and it was yummmmy. Also divine were the yeast rolls they brought. For dinner, we got steak (of course we did). I got the 8 oz filet which was more expensive and smaller than the one at The Palm. I ordered it medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly. It had seasoning on it that reminded me of Del Frisco's - a good thing. The fella and I split the pork belly mac and cheese side, and I almost made myself sick on it... mmmmm. Between the Yelp reviews and our waitress' recommendation, we went with the creme brulee cheesecake - it was like a regular cheesecake with a hard shell. Tasty.
The ambiance isn't quite my style since it sorta feels like a restaurant in an office building with super tall ceilings and no intimacy (maybe because that's actually what it is?), but the bar was pretty. Service was pretty well spot-on and the food was more creative than what you find at other steakhouses. Dress code seems to lean toward business casual, but the fella was in jeans and was fine.
