I was in town for a special event, I haven't been here before and was amazed with every aspect of my experience. our server Charles was utterly fabulous. he was very knowledgeable, thoughtful and prompt. he made it feel like we were old friends. the steaks were perfectly cooked. I am 4 and 1/2 years sober, and to go out and enjoy an exquisite meal and only drink water can be a drag, but you all had an amazing selection of mocktails, my partners and I enjoyed immensely. I took the time to thank Charles for everything and got to meet Justin, letting him know how wonderful everything was. this will definitely be a regular stop anytime I visit.

A friend who is a local had highly recommended this spot for dinner. We took a group of 8 (all from out of town). The service & atmosphere were top notch and we had zero complaints. The food was slightly disappointing (based on our expectations). The drinks also fell into the disappointing arena.

If you are looking for a reliable spot for dinner, would recommend. If you are looking for a high end steak/food experience.. no promises.

Our first time here and the food was really good. My dinner was full of flavor and just melted in my mouth. It was the best steak l have had in a long time.

I’ve had my fair share of dining experiences, but this was by far the worst service I’ve ever encountered. We came to celebrate a family member’s birthday, and it was honestly embarrassing to have chosen this place for such an occasion.

We were told that the Tomahawk steak would take a while to prepare, which we understood. However, we were still expecting our appetizers and other dishes to arrive in a reasonable timeframe. Instead, we waited over two hours for our food, and there was no communication from the server until the food finally came. During that time, we weren’t checked on at all, and our water glasses were never refilled.
What made it worse was seeing two couples seated near us who received their meals before we did—even though we had been there much longer. It seemed clear that they were getting better service because they were there to review the food. It felt like we were completely overlooked.
When the bill arrived, it came to around $800, including gratuity, for what was a completely disappointing dining experience. This wasn’t a busy night, and there was no excuse for the lack of attention. At the end of the day, we felt like we paid top dollar for abysmal service, and it completely overshadowed the special occasion we were trying to celebrate.
I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone, especially if you’re looking for an enjoyable meal with attentive service or good food. We definitely won’t be coming back.

Incredible Steak, perfectly cooked. Prices are extreme but worth it for a special occasion. Service isn’t great especially for how much you pay.

I ordered king salmon and it was cooked perfectly. Juicy and flaky. Perfect.

One ding would be the portions of everything (salads, main dish, dessert) is really small. Don't plan to share anything..

With this price level, many places have better food and better atmosphere. The steak was cold and is mediocre. . The mushroom and fries are wonderful. Steak was served on a plain dish with nothing else. Looks poor for food presentation..Other steak house with this price level did much better.

We had the pleasure of being served by Min, and he was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, his vibrant energy and warm smile made us feel welcomed. Min was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and his recommendation of the steak flight was spot on. The different cuts of steak were seasoned and smoked to absolute perfection, each one offering a unique and mouthwatering experience. Min’s expertise and enthusiasm about the food made it all the more enjoyable. If you're lucky enough to have Min as your server, you're in for an unforgettable dining experience!"

I have to be honest, for a place that costs around $200 per person, I had much higher expectations.

The food: The steak was honestly mediocre and was not served hot. The grits were amazing and the mushroom pate helped to make up for the poor service and cold steaks.

The service: It took almost an hour to get our food and we were just a party of two.

The waiter rarely came by and in-fact after we ordered our food we didn’t see him for about 30 minutes.

None of their signature cocktails have tequila, which was odd, but whatever.

Ultimately it was just very disappointing and I doubt I will be coming back. They need better management and need to make significant improvements to the service.

It is one of the best steak houses in the whole northwest. Spectacular techniques, delicious sides and salads, outstanding raw bar/seafood options. I would like to highlight the tuna tostada with salsa Macha and the shrimp cocktail.
I'll always recommend this place: seasonal, local, and the best quality meat.

Vegetarian options: There is one vegan options in the menu, some salads and sides

Parking: There are several options, the best is to park at Amazon garage for free after 5 pm

Really slow service on a Monday evening, when it wasn’t even crowded. I was expecting a great steak for a $100 I can make a better tasting steak on my back yard grill. Very disappointed. The bone marrow fry’s are so over cooked you can’t even tell it’s a potato. Better flavor from McDonald’s. The scallops were just average. This place has lived off its reputation for way too long

5:45 pm reservation, food didnt arrive till 7:15. They served a table of 4. After placing our order, they complimented us with 8 beef fat fries, which was pitiful given the $650 we spent on the entree. The table was unimpressed with the main course, overly salty and very chewy. We've made better steaks on our grills at home, and cooked in half the time. We've been to franchise grills and have had better cuts of meat. Cut the price in half and we might be on board.

Prior reviews brought my wife and I here. Not sure if this was a left coast, snooty thing but I felt weird vibe when we checked in. Not sure what to think.

Our waiter was nice but he must have thought I was from Mars when I requested a basket of bread. They offered a fancy-dancy dinner roll for $10!! Absolutely nuts! We got a fancy ceaser salad instead.

We ordered our entrees knowing it was overpriced. Steaks were great but they weren't hot (for a $100 steak, it better be pretty damn hot!) Is this a West Coast thing? They took it back and made it right. Manager brought it out.

Got a plate of potatoes and sliced mushrooms as sides. No desert.

If you're hankering to overpay for dinner, this is your place.
