Tara K: Raw oysters, filet mignon, bone marrow, cold lobster appetizer, excellent cocktails. Fabulous service! Overall, really great dinner venue.
Zero Jeon: Absolutely delicious steak. I ordered an aged steak, cooked medium, and it was one of the best steaks I've ever tasted in NY. Although it is steak-focused restaurant, tuna tartare tastes fantastic
Brett Fromme: Great cuts of beef and delicious sides. Always a great meal, but you can quickly run up a very big bill here. My #2 steakhouse in Manhattan!
