Well deserving of its reputation...

Lets start off by saying that this is NOT a place to get a steak (or any other entree for that matter) if you are frugal, thrifty, or just plain stingy... that being said, DAMN this was some good steak!!! My wife and I came to the restaurant for her birthday, and the staff could not have been more attentive or friendly. We had reservations and were seated promptly to a table that was specially decorated with birthcay decor (understated but got the message accross). Every employee that passed by our table even stopped to wish her a happy birthday! The hostess even came by to take a picture, and to our surprise returned with a souvenire printed picture!!!
Ok, now for the meal...
The steak was cooked exacty as we had ordered it and was tender and tasty. Also, we started with bacon wrapped scallops, and I have to say they were the best scallops I have ever had. The sides we ordered (grilled asparagus and macaroni and cheese) were also excellent. In fact, if i could find only one flaw with this restaurant is the prices in the drink menu. The wine is ridiculously overprised, even by restaurant standards, so I would recommend bringing your own bottle and paying the corkage fee ($25, but when a GLASS of cabernet will set you back an average of $17, I would say well worth it). Otherwise this place is well deserving of all the hype!!!
Pros: Staks and service
Cons: drink prices
