We had their tomahawk steak special, spanakopita, homemade kids chicken strips and a spinach salad. It was the best steak I have ever had. Their butters and steak salts are made fresh in house. Their prices are comparable to other steakhouses in the city but the portions are large and offer greater value. We were one of few tables in the restaurant but I believe they are new. The service was prompt and friendly. I will recommend this restaurant.Vegetarian options: The spanakopita was amazing. Their spinach salad comes with a warm topper and was very filling.

I used to come here when it was "Escoba" and I loved it. I love it still. The steak used to be uniquely "Escoba" but the steak now is my favorite in the world! I haven't tried the other stuff yet so this is a preliminary report - lol.

Food was amazing, large portions and you must try the mushroom escargot bruschetta!! The wagya tenderloin was expensive but melt in your mouth so worth it! Jennifer was excellent and would recommend this restaurant to everyone.

When we arrived there were only 3 other tables sat, yet we still waited quite a while for our drinks. The most disappointing part was the appetizers. $23 for mussels that were so salty there were barely edible, and $23 for a Greek salad. This was the worst Greek salad I have ever paid for. The cucumbers were cut LONGWISE, the tomatoes were absolutely butchered and the dressing tasted from a bottle. I will say that our steaks were some of the best cooked steaks we have had in a long time. But between the overpriced and poorly done everything else, I would not recommend this restaurant.

Extremely disappointing experience. The restaurant was perhaps at 25% capacity. The server was lovely, however, the drinks arrived after 15 minutes of waiting. My wife and I started with the French onion soup which was mediocre at best. We then waited approximately an hour for our mains to arrive. We ordered the 6oz tenderloin and 12oz ribeye both medium. Both steaks came out extremely rare with cold seasonal vegetables. The “premium” side of fettuccine Alfredo was almost inedible with very undercooked noodles.My wife sent her steak back to be re-fired, yet it still came out underdone. The vegetables were obviously not fresh as they were cold by the point the plate was served again.After the meal, I asked the server to speak with the manager about the underwhelming experience. She advised that “Dean”, the owner and chef, was in the back cooking and that we were welcome to walk into the kitchen to speak with him. This was a slap in the face that the owner was unwilling to speak with dissatisfied customers.I would not recommend this restaurant. If you want a premium steakhouse experience, I would suggest Chairman’s, Vintage Chophouse, Caesars, and even the Keg. We will not be returning to Da Vinci’s.

The food is very good. The ambience doesn't seem appropriate for a high-end restaurant/ steak house. The servers do their best but you can tell they are inexperienced at high end dining. We would go back for the food and lower our expectations for ambience.

What a wonderful night! From the service to the food, everything was a success. We were well taken care of by Jenn and the meal was fantastic. Very good tartare and home made bread and butter. The Tomahawk was cooked very well and we paired it with a nice bottle of Dutcher Crossing. We will come back for more...

Most expensive steaks by a long shot over Hy's, Vintage, Major Toms. Small portions, long wait for food, big let down. Shame as it's nice having new restaurants in town. The prices do not reflect the service, food or location.
