Went there for our 30th anniversary. They were out of pasta, baked potatoes, no 1000 island dressing. This place was empty. Stay away from this place.

I really enjoyed this place! I like the darker intimate settings. It has nice big booths and big comfy seats for the tables. They have a nice bar with a few tv's for sports. They even have a side room with a big tv for the Padres games!
Now, I had the prime rib. It was packed with juices and flavor! Seasoned just right!
The salad was on point, and the service was good.

The steak in my opinion tasted very well. I can see it being too salty or seasoned for others, but that’s how I like mine cooked. Other than that, I do think the menu is over priced. For a steak house you pay for great food, on top of a great experience & ambience….which this place did lack in. Totally not worth spending the extra money, when you can go else where for just as good of a steak with a better dining experience. Looking online, it seems like a cool place, but in person it’s definitely outdated. If you want to come to eat a decent steak, they have it. If you want an overall great dining experience from a steakhouse, there are other places you can probably find to enjoy than here.

Mid. Our waitress and the live music buddy were the only good parts of the experience. The place was empty on a Friday night (that should have been a signal of what was to come). They were out of half the menu. They only had 1 baked potato left. 1 baked potato at an empty “steakhouse”. The steaks were cooked well, although they were very salty. This place is way too expensive for what they are offering. I miss Red Fox Room already….

Our waitress Amy went above and beyond to make our experience memorable and extraordinary. The steak was as good as we remembered. Must visit when in San Diego.

I was excited to try out this restaurant based upon the reviews. DON'T GO! I still have stomach pains from the shrimp and it is now caused PTSD when I eat shrimp. It was rancid. After the issue with the shrimp, we then found cobwebs and a dead spider on the booth in which we were seated. It was a lively Saturday night everywhere else, but we come to this restaurant and there was nobody else in the restaurant and it was completely vacant. Erie. I felt like I was in an episode of Without a Trace. You should definitely a restaurant in which I can see many mob bosses would have made some deals. However, all of those my bosses are dead because of the bad food and the food safety issues

A classic spot that is very low key. The service is very good, and the food is cooked well. We enjoy coming here on date nights and days that we want to unwind peacefully.
The menu was limited. Only steaks. And they had no more filet mignon to offer. Very dark and vary quite. Only one other couple. This used to be one of my favorites but I had not been there after the COVID epidemic. Sadly I will not return and I cannot recommend it at all.
Food and drinks 10/10 and our server Rudy was the best!! A gem me and my fiancé stumbled across. We will be back on our next visit! 🫶🏼
Walked in to find 2 people sitting at the bar. No hostess, just a bartender. Asked us what we wanted. Replied “Dinner”, she asked which restaurant?? We left.
New Years Eve was our first time here, and it was so fantastic! The corner booth felt intimate and quiet, and the party nite menu was perfectly procured. When we were leaving the live music pulled us back in and we rang in the new year with all the locals! So much fun. Great unique space!
