Diners also appreciate the elegant ambiance that still feels welcoming. Whether you're seated in a cozy booth or at the well-appointed bar, the atmosphere is ideal for conversation and celebration.

Areas for Improvement

As a high-end steakhouse, prices are on the steeper side—so it might not suit every concert-goer's budget. Some reviewers mention that while service is attentive, it can occasionally feel a bit formal for those seeking a more casual pre-show vibe.
