Best place to get a great steak in great style, warning it is pricey. But the best is the best the rest is the rest. Sound level great service superb and you can almost taste the steaks walking in smells so good atmosphere fantastic. Love the bar too you can sit and have a filet mignon glass of red wine with a side of au gratin potatoes. If you are single traveler this is my recommendation for sure all complete with a show watch the view of the cooks as the kitchen is in front of you.
