Food here was excellent and service was even better. Came with a party of five in ordered a variety of appetizers, starters and entrees. All of them exceeded expectations. Our server, Madison was very friendly and knowledgeable about wines and the menu. She helped make our experience very special.

Nice little upscale steakhouse in the heart of Madison. Forgot to take pictures of all the food but managed to get one. All the food was great, filet was good and cooked correctly, sides were all good (lobster mac is really good), and overall a great experience.

Everything from the tartar to the steaks and wines are fantastic. And then the staff was great and right on point. Highly recommend dining here. Fantastico

Potentially found my new favorite drink, a New York Sour! So good! People were asking us about it. The restaurant was packed for New Year’s Eve as expected. Staff were very busy and working hard to accommodate everyone. We certainly understood that they were a bit behind on reservations and appreciated their transparency about this to set expectations. The bar and those gathering became overcrowded and somewhat interfered with tables in the bar area. We ended up being seated at a small table in the corner of the bar against a cold window on a very windy night. Not the end of the world, but not an ideal space. Our server was so friendly, but you could tell was overworked. She had most if not all of the tables in the bar area. She was moving constantly, and her ability to check on us more often and be attentive was not possible. The star of the show was definitely the house mashed potatoes. If you are a rosemary lover, don’t think twice! My filet had good flavor, but was not cooked evenly. About half of the steak was medium well. The other half was closer to medium, but that is being generous. Overcooked for sure. The server was incredibly apologetic and offered to provide us with a free dessert. Three all gender bathrooms for this restaurant is not enough on a busy night. The wait was significantly more than I expected. They were very clean and luxurious! I would return again, but would most likely consider dinner at the bar or a different table upstairs.

Extremely disappointing. We were sat early, which was nice. The Ambiance is deceiving when you first walk in. You walk into a great looking space. Beautiful finishes but the room was extremely loud. Was not able to have a normal conversation. In addition, the lights kept flickering every 30-40 secs. Absolutely terrible experience with the lights constantly flickering from low to high. Food was ok. Nothing to go out of your way for. Service was did not meet my expectations in any way. I was really shocked again. When serving my soup, the your woman reached over my friend across the table. Really? Quite a few service issues. Just a all around disappointing visit. I wish them the best of luck, but it will be awhile before I go back.
