Amazing staff that are very attentive, even though the place is super busy all the time. Food is flawless, I would definitely recommend making resos well ahead of time.

Joe Beef is legendary. It lives up to the legend. Every course we had supplanted it's predecessor as Our Favorite Thing. The menu changes nightly, so commenting on a specific dish would be unhelpful. On any given night you can try any menu item, & are virtually guaranteed to be blown away.

We loved the lobster spaghetti super creamy & portion is generous. For the duck dish to share, the meat was perfect cooked but the sauce is a bit too salty, we couldn't taste & sweetness & sourness from the plum sauce.

All-In experience of a super enhanced Diner experience. The W wine list is vast, the staff has been guiding us through it in full confidence. All Shared - smoked salmon on a pumped bagel & cream cheese, Beef tartare then Steak & Chicken breast. All of this finishing on a massive crêpe wrapping a brick of delicious vanilla ice cream. SQDC Suggestion: Tangerine Dream - perfect friend & munchies activator for the experience.

Great good. We had the steak, oysters, clams, lobster spaghetti & the bloody ceasars....all items were top notch. The staff was great & friendly while service was fast. Prices are a bit on the higher side but well worth it & reasonable. Definitely would recommend. 10/10.

Didn't really find the steak outstanding, no one really checked in on me either until the end. As much as I wanted to love it, I can't say I did. I asked beside me to see if it was just me who found the service lacking, but they agreed with me as well. Fries were phenomenal though.
