| - My boyfriend took me here for my birthday. We usually go to Mastro's or Durant's and I wanted to try something different. We arrived at 4:55 p.m. and noticed a crowd of people waiting. Apparently, they do not open the elevators to the restaurant until 5 p.m. Once we got to the restaurant we told the host, we have a 5 p.m. reservation. The host said she would get us when they were ready. So, what's the point in making a reservation? At 5:10 p.m. they seated us. The booth was a nice couch with pillows, curtains for privacy and a view. Unfortunately, we weren't able to see the sunset. But, we did have a good view of Top Golf. I had the Honey Poached Pear Salad, which was delicious. My boyfriend had the class Caesar Salad, which was just OK. He had the 12 ounce beef tenderloin. We thought it was tender and tasty. I had the 8 ounce Tajima Wagyu Striploin. I wish I had ordered something different. It was tough and lacked flavor. I've had Kobe beef before and it was delicious. This was terrible and even worse was the price of $60. Also, we both had the King Crab Merus (3 ounces), which was good but pricey. For the sides, we got the Cauliflower Aged Cheddar Gratin and it was bland. I couldn't taste any cheddar, it was just like watered down cauliflower. The Green Chile Whipped Potatoes were good. The server gave me a tiny slice of flourless chocolate cake for my birthday. It was so rich that we could only take one bite. For dessert, we ordered the cheesecake and cobbler with ice cream. I thought the dessert was good, but nothing like the desserts from Durant's! Overall, I'd say save your money and go somewhere else. The positives: server and private booth. The negatives: food wasn't worth the price and view wasn't great. If you're going to spend $250 (not including tip) on a meal and one cocktail, I think it should be one of the best meals of your life!
