Service was slow. Waiter was cold and aloof, less than pleasant. Food was below par for what I would expect from a supposedly classy steakhouse. One table was EXCEPTIONALLY loud and nothing was done about it. That table belonged in a PUB, not in a classy restaurant. The Maitre'd should have spoken to the table and very possibly should have shut one member of the party off as she was obviously pretty intoxicated. Everything is way overpriced for the quality and lack of service.
Liked: Nothing.
Disliked: Slow service; loud table disrupting the entire restaurant, and mediocre food that was exorbitantly priced.
