“I had a great experience dining here as someone with a gluten allergy. The staff was incredibly friendly and proactive about dietary restrictions, even asking about allergies before I had the chance to mention mine. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and helped explain how different menu items were prepared, which made me feel much more confident ordering. The appetizer I wanted was modified to be gluten-free, and I really appreciated the extra care they took. They even put an allergy marker on my steak when it was served, which showed they were taking the restriction seriously. It's always reassuring to see a restaurant prioritize clear communication and allergy awareness. I would definitely feel comfortable eating here again.”

“We ordered the Peppercorn Steak as an appetizer, the KC Strip and Filet Mignon as our entrees with a side of Truffle Fries. Our Drinks were Lemon Shake Up Mocktails with Raspberry and Dessert was the Double Chocolate Cake and Almond Cheesecake. The steaks were cooked to perfection and some of the best that we have ever had. The sauce used for the filet was superb. Service was excellent. The atmosphere was romantic, definitely more date night vibes than family. We were not rushed and all was wonderfully paced. Our server (Avery) was exceedingly friendly, knowledgeable, and seemed to really know her job well. We had a top notch experience from the moment we arrived just before our reservation time of 6, to when we left at 7:17.”

“Highly recommend the ribeye! Although it was thinner (12 oz) than I prefer, it was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The garlic truffle fries were delicious and the broccolini was also well seasoned. And don't forget the specialty martinis, they are top-tier!”

“I had the tomahawk steak. It was a very good steak and presented well, but it wasn’t better than any other ribeye. The fried potatoes were good and spicy. I like spice. But some might not like it. The corn was on the cob covered in an odd but tasteful sauce. I recommend NOT sitting in the last booth by the kitchen. The doors to the kitchen were very busy and would stick open. The kitchen was loud, and traffic was constant (see video). It spoiled my wife's experience. With our next reservation, we'll request a booth along the North wall.”

“Our experience started off great. Our waitress was friendly and attentive right away, which made us feel welcome and set the tone for what we thought would be a great evening. She checked in appropriately, made good conversation, and everything initially felt relaxed and enjoyable. While the food was amazing, the experience was not. Toward the end of our meal, the vibe changed drastically. We began to feel rushed, especially when it came time for our check. We still had wine left from a bottle we ordered, and without asking if we wanted it bagged, she came over and placed it in a bag for us, which made us feel like she was ready for us to leave. However, we had planned on finishing the wine. Additionally, when we asked to purchase a $50 gift card, we were told we’d need to go see the hostess on our way out instead of her offering to coordinate that for us or notify someone. So we stood at the hostess stand for 5 minutes while they went to the back to get the gift card. It felt like a missed opportunity for smoother service. Overall, while the experience began on a high note, the rushed ending left us with mixed feelings.”
