We had been looking for the perfect opportunity to try this restaurant for years. When we planned to attend a show downtown, we decided it was finally time. We made a reservation and were promptly seated upon arrival. Our reservation was a bit early to accommodate the timing of the show, but it worked out perfectly.Although the restaurant is relatively new, it exudes the timeless charm of a classic steakhouse, complete with elegant dining booths and low lighting that creates a cozy and sophisticated atmosphere.The menu is well-curated--not overwhelmingly extensive but offering a variety of options. While we didn't receive a separate wine or cocktail menu, there were several appealing choices integrated into the main menu. Given the impressive wine cellar visible near our table, we assume a dedicated wine list might typically be available. For those not in the mood for steak, there's a decent selection of alternative entrees, though we opted for the steakhouse staples.We began our meal with soup--lobster bisque for me and French onion soup for my husband--both of which were excellent. For our main course, we chose steaks accompanied by sautéed mushrooms and truffle butter. Before our meal arrived, we were served warm, flaky popovers with maple butter, which were absolutely delicious. The lobster bisque was rich and flavorful, and the steaks were perfectly cooked and juicy. Every bite was a delight.The staff was attentive and thoughtful, ensuring we stayed on schedule for our show without feeling rushed. Though we briefly considered dessert, we decided against it since we didn't think we'd be able to finish. Still, the options sounded tempting. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience--the ambiance, service, and food exceeded our expectations. We'll definitely return!

The Bread and Maple Butter were really tasty. I got some to-go! Service was five star and waters were refilled immediately. We ordered the Filet Mignon, Chopped Salad, and Mashed Potatoes. Filet Mignon $59. The flavors were definitely there and the ingredients were premium.Super appreciate the service and Filet.

Steaks were perfect as should be and service top notch. Dark decor which adds to the rich atmosphere. Just wished I had left room for bananas foster which was served table side.

On my 2024 Tour of Steakhouses, this was at the top of the list. Where do I even begin? First I have to say we were well taken care of by the General Manager Devante and our server Alex. Both individuals made the experience a 10/10. The location is easy to find right off of Michigan, near the lake. There is a garage across the street with affordable parking by the hour but Ubering is a safer bet because the cocktail menu is amazing. We sat in one of their gorgeous booths in the back by their library. Although their dining room isn't enormous, there are plenty of seats and two private rooms. I think they utilize them as general seating when they aren't booked for parties, but again, plenty of room in the dining area. The bar was also large with a decent amount of seating. We started with martinis and calamari. The calamari comes with a spicy and a sweet dipping sauce. Per Alex's recommendation, we split the chopped salad. It's full of vegetables that compliment each other perfectly. They also bring enormous flaky popovers with a honey butter. You'll start with half because they're so big, but you'll finish the whole thing because addicting. For dinner I had the NY Strip and my friend had the Bottleneck. Both were cooked perfectly. We went with creamed corn (very strong smoky flavor), broccolini, and lobster mac. The lobster mac had a generous amount of lobster so I was very happy. For dinner we split their crème brûlée special, which was s'more flavored. Yum! We each also got some espresso because all of that eating had us exhausted. Alex and Devante stopped by the table periodically to chat. We had such a great time making small talk and learning about the establishment. After dinner we explore their library which is full of vintage books. It's hard to choose a highlight to our trip because everything was perfection. We haven't stopped talking about our visit and are recommending everyone try out this top tier steakhouse!!

The drinks and apps are good. The soup could have been warmer. The steak was a disaster. Ordered the 32 oz bone in tomahawk, wanting to split for two as my wife had been here before and when presented with it in the past with work colleagues, she enjoyed it. This time it was inedible. Very raw, to the table. So we sent it back. I've never sent a steak back in my life. When it came back, it seemed as though it was put into a blast furnace. The meat nearly tasted deep fried, had 0 flavor and somehow they managed to make all the fat on it hard as a rock and crunchy, yet still leave it raw... on refire. Even the button onion served with it was raw. Usually these are soft and spread akin to a butter. Not this one. Brussel sprouts are basic, mushrooms are disappointing, beef fat fries are good.Nearly every steak place in the city is better than this.

Great find! Everything was terrific! Atmosphere, food, service were all great! Portions were generous and enough to share. Wish I had room for dessert- maybe next time.

went for dinner 11/24 for our anniversary knowing it was pricy, but ready to pay for a wonderful evening. started with raw oysters...I had 6 one of which was bad. my husband had 12, one of his was also bad. Dangerous to serve bad oysters. we also sat waiting while tables around us were served popovers. we had to request them. i had the bone in ribeye it was very good as was my husband's steak. however we were well into our steaks before our sides came. we had to ask about them. we also had the bone marrow and had to ask for a spoon to eat it and the crostini it should have come with. all this while waiting a long time between courses. I had coffee after dinner which was watery as was my espresso martini. WATERY. there's NO excuse for this. especially at these prices. I could add more but I seem to be running out of space. Terrible Service.

lanned to eat here for my partners birthday but I got sick so we ordered the food to go. My steak arrived rare although it was ordered medium plus. This was a steak costing almost $70.I have called the restaurant twice to speak with management and both times I was told that I would receive a call but no one has reached out. I spent almost $200 on a meal just to be disappointed and ignored.I don't appreciate being treated like my business does not matter. There are a lot of great steakhouses in this city and I will spend my money with them.
