Two stars means it's passable but I don't recommend it. I ordered the coffee-rubbed ribeye. It was okay, not amazing, except for the fact that I ordered it rare and it was served medium. It would have been worth-while at $20-30, but not at $50. My friends ordered the $100 38oz tomahawk-for-two. They were extremely disappointed. It was only slightly larger than my 14oz ribeye. They ordered it medium, and it was served rare. And then the steak was approximately half solid fat, one of the worst cuts I've ever seen. They were served the wrong sides, not what they ordered, but it took so long for the food to be served that they didn't want to send it back and wait longer. The drinks menu had a nice selection of whiskeys, fifteen or twenty different kinds, but then I ordered one and was told they actually only had three in stock. The service was poor; slow, incorrect, and our waiter kept trying to join our conversations. I won't be going back.

Worst service imaginable. $100 steak was 50% fat, disgusting.... Absolutely atrocious. Waited 30 minutes to get our drinks. Will never go back.

Very disappointed I ordered the lobster mac and cheese and what I received was not Lobster it was langostino which is like a small crawdad. I also ordered the special which was linguine with Scallops,There were only two very small scallops on this dish plus the portions were extremely small on both dishes. The meals came with a baked potato but they forgot to give them to me, I had to go back. I would not recommend this restaurant to my worst enemy.

No. But they frown on sweat pants. Lol the older gentleman is very rude. My partner and I went on a whim. I was in gym shorts. And like a tank top. He looked me up and down with a face I can't really describe. He also was very rude when we said we didnt have a reservation.
