    Atmosphere is nice and classy the moment you walk in. Service was a *tad* slow, but didn't take away from the experience. Once we got rolling, they were very attentive with water, wine, clearing, etc. The Caymus was absolutely perfect to go with our meals! The Grand Seafood Tower that is listed to serve 4+ is probably better for 2 people. We got a half-size version and were a little underwhelmed at the portion (1 King Crab leg, 1 half lobster, 3 jumbo shrimp, a small portion of lump crab, and 3 oysters). The filet was on-par with any other steakhouse. Ordered MR, but came out M. The wagyu was a little less than expected, but it was Australian MS5 and certainly better than most of the other cuts. It came out cooked perfectly though. The sides were great (Mushrooms and Cauliflower Gratin). They brought out a slice of cake to celebrate our date night which was phenomenal! Best flourless chocolate cake I've ever had! Also ordered the Banana Creme Trifle--solid 7/10. Was a little bit pricier than I would have expected, but that's also the economy right now. Overall, would definitely recommend and return.

    What a wonderful evening spent at the delightful restaurant! From the host, our waitress, and the wonderful lady who brought us bread and to. check to make sure everything was OK. The staff made our night! The food service appeared to be slow but not because of inattentiveness… Honestly, we were there for almost 2 hours and we ate the way we should eat instead of having a quick meal on being rushed out the door! And the food was spectacular. We started with some delicious clams casino and I ordered a shrimp dish and my husband got a beef dish. Both were of excellent quality.
