What People Say

Guests rave about the exceptional steaks, from perfectly cooked filets to exotic cuts like wagyu. The creative side dishes and shareable plates also earn high marks, especially the truffle fries and lobster mac & cheese. Many reviewers highlight the knowledgeable staff and the restaurant’s ability to accommodate tight timelines before concerts. The wine list is described as “one of the best in the area,” and the décor often gets called “dramatic” and “Instagram-worthy.”

Areas for Improvement

While most diners leave happy, some mention that the prices can be on the higher side—fair for a special night out, but maybe not ideal for those on a tighter pre-concert budget. And if you're in a rush, it's worth giving your server a heads-up to ensure a timely experience.
