Went for a birthday meal, the mood was perfect, and the table was great. Shrimp cocktail was outstanding, with huge shrimp that made me fear I wouldn't be hungry for the main course. As some other reviews have warned, the sides left something to be desired. The potatoes au gratin were bland, but benefited from generous salt and pepper; the asparagus lacked flavor, and no amount of seasoning could redeem them. The steaks were excellent, except that both my wife's and mine were overdone. We ate them anyway, they were that good, and because we didn't want to wait for new steaks. The manager was very apologetic, and comped us each a glass of champagne with desert. Overall, the service and the mood of the place made up for the mediocre sides and the overcooking. I might suggest consulting your waiter about whether or not the kitchen tends to overcook the meat, and maybe then order a doneness slightly more rare than you would normally prefer.
Pros: Service and atmosphere. Great cuts of steak. And giant shrimp.
Cons: Bland sides.
