"It was everything my family promised and more...incredibly friendly staff, massive selection of wine, cocktails and other libations, spacious, modern aesthetic meets turn of the century Mid-Atlantic sensibilities, warm, cosmopolitan steak-house atmosphere and delicious meat. What else could you ask for? For a Christmas Eve rush, we felt neither harried nor shoved into the periphery of those who served us...they were attentive, kind, knowledgeable and gracious, especially with some of the other, more belligerent customers. And, of course, the food was wonderful...a prime rib the size of Long Island but tender and juicy, perfect medium rare. Crab cakes with barely any filler and a warm, creamy bisque to chase away the cold. Surprisingly, it was the butter cake that really shook us...was not expecting to enjoy it more than the lemon cream, but I did. You feel like a king after a night like that, especially in the heart of the city. Certainly a memorable Christmas Eve. Pity I needed to travel so far to have so much fun...but it was more than worth it."
