Service

"Impress the lady, impress your palate" suggest fans of this "dark and private" Nob Hill steakhouse where "formal art deco" decor enhances a "romantic" vibe; add in "cooked-to-perfection" filet mignon, "fresh and well-presented" seafood and an "impressive" wine list for a "memorable experience" considered "expensive but worth it."

Very elegant decor, welcoming, and quiet perfect for a date. Now, the star of this elegance was the food and the service. Hostess showed us to our table, in minutes we had our drinks and menu's. So first we had the crab cakes, which were crispy full of crab and more crab!!! No fillers here. Full of flavor and seasoned to perfection. Then We got the porterhouse, perfected in flavor and we took the chefs recommendation to have it medium rare. I'm telling you best meat I've had in my LIFE. Next the sides... we had brussel sprout chips which were well seasoned with a bit of lemon. Mac and cheese was savory well balanced in flavor and surprisingly not heavy. After that we had crispy potatoes, well seasoned super crispy and begging you to come back for more. Next was desert, caramel vanilla crunch cake (not my first choice but my wife wanted it) creamy, decadent, moist, had hints of vanilla, and lots of caramel. Over all the meal was fantastic and wait staff was very prompt and efficient never having and empty glass or a dirty dish. I would definitely recommend, will be coming back soon.

Came here for dinner and dessert late in the evening on a weeknight. Was pretty much empty. The host was absolutely lovely and made a few drink recommendations. The waiter was less lovely. Didn’t come take our orders or check in for quite a while and once our orders were placed and our plates were received, only checked in once. The coffee and drinks and desserts were fantastic— absolutely 5 Star. Wish the waiter had been, too; we would be here every evening!

Delicious food! We shared the crab cake and won ton appetizers. I highly recommend the crab cakes! We had the petite filet and had crab entrees and again both were delicious. The waiter was super personable and attentive. The restaurant is very clean and upscale. We had a wonderful experience and already planned our next dinner there.
