called ahead sun night, got a seat right away. maitre'd a bit snooty but whatever. great decor and atmosphere. rich & dark; live music that wasn't overpowering; no shouting needed. service was fairly prompt. oysters rockefeller a bit rich. ribeye and filet were both excellent. this might be funny, but the asparagus was OUTSTANDING. the wine: ordered Mondavi '01 Stag's Leap cabernet ($60). waiter brought it and it was amazing. PROBLEM: at the end i realized it was the wrong bottle, having instead gotten the '02 Stag's Leap Fay ($180). after a civil discussion with our waiter and the manager, we were comp'd the difference without hassle. it was an honest mistake on both ends but the mark of a classy joint is how it's handled. that alone elevates this establishment beyond others.
Pros: management, atmosphere, steak
Cons: nothing significant
