It's a great Steakhouse and at $80 for a steak it should be. Everything's a la carte so if you have a few drinks you're easily 150 a person

It’s a huge restaurant with 2 floors. We went there on a Friday night and downstairs dining room was completely closed and upstairs was open which was not a bad thing as you have street view. Service was good. Tried the calamari and octopus for appetizers and they were good but nothing special. I had the aged ribeye for main course with the loaded potatos. The steak was cooked but a bit though but the potatoes were delicious. I couldn’t say this was the best steak or meal I’ve had but all around it was good and at best it’s a 3 star restaurant!
