★★ Lucky M 3 months ago

Bar service was super slow. Around 7ish, you really have to stay on top of your order because it felt like they’d ignore you unless you make yourself heard.

I was about to eat alone in my hotel room while my group was at an event. I’m so glad I changed my mind. I had a seat at the bar and was so kindly welcomed by Alexis(I hope I spelled his name right.)It was Saturday night. He made a fabulous Old fashioned. I had the beet salad which was delicious, a ...

Steak was ok, if not excellent. You get what you pay for. Location is fine if you are visiting the town for work, as it's middle of busy district. However, you may not feel very safe in the evening." — **Jun Jii** (3 weeks ago) - ★★★★★ "Just do it. Classic dark wood old time steakhouse. Food excellent. A place you need to visit once in a lifetime... maybe twice! And be sure to go upstairs and look at the Maltese Falcon display! Another Falcon can be found on display in the Flood Building Lobby on Market Street." — **Steve Chan** (a month ago) - ★★ "Bar service was super slow.

The staff are amazing. The atmosphere and vibe are on point. My rib eye was thinner than expected, but tender and delicious. My wife had the salmon and enjoyed it." — **Karl Whinnery** (4 months ago) - ★★★★★ "I was about to eat alone in my hotel room while my group was at an event. I’m so glad I changed my mind.
