You get what you pay for, and you pay a lot

The food is very expensive, but it is, indeed, delicious. I was there for a business celebration dinner. Their cocktails are wonderful, as is the Pinot Noir and Cabernet. We had smoked salmon and tuna tartare for appetizers. The salmon was amazing, but I didn't care too much for the tuna. I ordered the single cut filet mignon with bearnaise sauce (basically hollandaise with tarragon...yummy). It was very good. I also had a bite of my boyfriend's bone-in ribeye and it was just dripping with flavor. You should order your steak one notch above the way you like it cooked. I like my steak medium, but it came out more like medium rare. The upside-down apple pie with ice cream is a culinary dream. i don't even like apple pie, but this was unbelieveable. Ladies: I wore a nice pair of dark jeans and silk halter top with heels, so the dress code here isn't cutthroat. Guys: There were men in suits, but no tie or jacket is required. Our check came to about $200 per person, with tip...to give you an idea of pricing (but then again, we didn't really spare any expense).
Pros: Service, drinks, steak
Cons: Pricing, king crab legs weren't so fresh
