“Great food, but service was hit or miss depending where you are seated and what is going on. Our most recent visit was not the best but they were very attentive on a separate dinner visit months ago. We had reservations and were seated on time but waited almost an hour to even order food, even after asking for our server three different times to three different people. On our third ask we got someone that seemed upset we hadn't been helped and immediately got us taken care of. There was a storm and they had to move outdoor guests indoors and apparently this resulted in some confusion for our server about who was staffing our table. For how much money you spend to eat here, you shouldn't fall between the cracks, even with having to move tables or repeat some guests. Especially when you consider that should be a pretty normal occurrence when they have outdoor patio seating. Someone should ensure it can be handled smoother and not leave guests asking several times for service over an hour. It was our anniversary dinner and my husband and I enjoyed the time and are pretty mellow and understanding but it would've been nice to have management apologize or offer a dessert or something once they realized what had happened. I would definitely give the restaurant another chance in the future but it was disconcerting that management didn't make any attempts to formally apologize or check in with us afterward to ensure amends were made. I expect that when spending hundreds of dollars on dinner. I love how unique the menu is, but for the price, I expect misunderstandings to be handled better and to not feel forgotten for almost an hour. Several tables around us came ate and left while we sat with waters but dinner was delicious and dessert was phenomenal.“

“This place is all about the atmosphere. It is a great place for a business dinner or special event. The waitress are very attentive and nice. Their guacamole is one of the best I have had. They make it right in front of you. They have great food. Their hot rock stake is fun and enjoyable to watch while it is on fire. The sauce they use for the firing the stake has a great taste. The stake is great. I like my stake medium rare I didn't pull my stake off the hot rock while I was eating it. At the end my stake was medium but that was my fault. I do struggle with the price tag of $50 for 10 oz stake.“

“Amazing steakhouse! But super pricey. Came back after years and still just as good. Really enjoyed the hot rock steak. Bar atmosphere was busy but lots of interesting decorations. Absolutely no hope of getting a table when we went, but prefer the bar anyways.“

“Top notch fancy restaurant in a very beautiful location with very nice staff and talented cooks. It is expensive though but it is a fun place to go to every year or two. I ordered a steak and they brought the stick out on a rock and burned it to my liking on our table. The cups are made of sculpted ice and the restaurant has never failed to entertain. The food was amazing ???? ????“
