The place was awesome. It is a definite redo. The steak (I don't think) isn't dry aged. But it was very good. The service was really good. I didn't have to pour my wine except for once. We didn't feel rushed. I don't enjoy being charged extra for a substitution on a vegetable - mushrooms instead of potatoes. Speaking of mushies, they were really good though I make better ones at home. But you must know they are shiitake - a very good accompaniment to steak....

Great food. Nice atmosphere. Business attire is not required, BTW. We ate lite but will go back. They have a really interested steak feast, though, which is on the expensive side. $350 for 70 oz of great meat. But if you think about each person being able to each 16oz, this feeds 4.5 people. $70-$90 pp is the most you'll pay on the menu by far, so it's not really a bargain. But it's worth considering.

Had two oysters as an appetizer, and they were good. Fresh and clean.

My wife had the chicken parm, with a side of linguine. The chicken parm was excellent, and the linguine was good as well, and much larger than a "side" - but I had no complaints having it for dinner the next day!

I had the ribeye, and this is where it all went wrong. Well, not wrong, but at the price paid it was just mid. And when I pay that much for a piece...
