Irene U.Irene Unger: Great spot. Has a cooler vibe than many other steak houses. Everthing was great, but try the crab cake and the corn side for extra yumminess.

Stephanie D.Stephanie DiFedele: Start with west coast oysters, green goddess salad, bone-in sirloin (enough for two). Corn brulee side was sweet creamy goodness. I loved the homemade chips at the bar and a great dirty martini.

The Corcoran GroupThe Corcoran Group: We love the Lobster Cocktail, Roasted Bone Marrow and the Aged Rib Steak at this really sexy steakhouse. Before all that, start with an Olde English Lemonade – it’s large enough to share.
