TL;DR: wait times for a table aren't that bad and probably worth the wait; food is amazing here, service is good, and the wait time to get your food from the time you ordered is decent despite high volume.

This place serves hearty meals that didn't have me too heavy/over stuffed afterwards. I had the chimichurri steak and eggs; my wife had the braised ox tail ragu. The chimichurri was a nice touch - dressed over the steak. If you are really particular about your steak then you might not choose it here. I ordered med-rare and got rare (seared outside with barely mid pink and more raw with some blood center -- to me that is a rare steak). Maybe try medium and u might get med rare? Not a big deal - the steak was good either way. Better than my steak was the oxtail ragu -- now THAT was fun. The thick chewy noodle with the savory sauce and all the veggies was amazing! It was PACKED in here -- our wait time was only about 20 min so again not bad at all. I believe the menu changes from time to time so don't count on ordering what I wrote about; I actually saw a Reuben sandwich on google photos from this place which I wanted but it wasnt found on the menu - lol again doesn't matter food is good either way. We liked it here.
