Good stuff. When we were there the rice crackers came with a slice of grapefruit instead of the orange in the pic. Hope they don't switch to lemon next...

Entrée

Rum peppercorn steak 9/10 French fries 7/10

It didn't have the peppercorn taste, the cook was perfect at Medium.
Fries was ok

Korean BBQ steak 10/10. Rice 10/10

Awesome juicy steak even at medium well, don't worry it didn't have a BBQ taste,
Rice was thin and tiny, great taste

Signature Bordelaise 8/10. Sweet potato 8/10

It was great but vs the other 2 he was the loser
Sweet potato had some seasoning added to it was good

Desserts

Brownie a la moda $15 9/10

Warm brownie on the bottom topped with homemade vanilla bean ice cream

Trio of sorbet $15. 5/10
It was 3-4 scoops in a glass, not worth it

All in all a Awesome experience.
Our bill was quite pricey.
Keep in mind that they are not famous for their sides and desserts so don't expect perfection there.

A big shout out to "Ike" he was our server he knew every detail and item on the menu and tweaked around some stuff to make everything perfect for us. ( since we don't like spicy food).
The manager (sorry I don't remember his name) and Mr. Fishler Came over and chatted a little. ( no they didn't stop at each table) seems to be that they had a feeling that is going to end up here.
