The experience was a pleasent one, I was expecting the steep price tag. So right off the bat, the service is where all the value is here, extremely attentive staff. Of course that is a requirement because of the model the restaurant is based off, still very good service. The selection of meats was great, the flavor of the meats was ok. The saving grace for the meats was the great salad bar were you can select items to enhance the flavor of the meats, although for me, steak or lamb should stand on its own without me having to seek out flavor, especially at that price point, but like I said earlier, the value here is found in the service. I will say the meats where cooked to perfection, they just needed some boost in flavor. Overall experience was nice, can't say with 100% certainty I'll ever be back, but it was nice, nothing wrong with the establishment or the staff, or the amazing selection in red and white wines. I'd give it a solid 8 out of 10 stars. It's simply not my cup of tea. I like my steak, chicken, or lamb to be cared for on an individual level before being plated and brought to me.
