What People Say

Reviewers rave about the perfectly cooked steaks, generous pours of wine, and top-tier service from the moment you walk in. Many note it as a “go-to spot before concerts” thanks to its reliability and location. Diners also highlight the intimate booths and riverfront views as adding to the special experience. The bar area offers a more casual option for those not looking for the full fine-dining treatment.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention prices are on the higher side—something to keep in mind if you're on a tighter concert budget. A few reviews noted that the interior can get quite loud during peak times, which might not suit those looking for a quiet meal. Reservations are highly recommended, especially on event nights.
