Classic steakhouse. Better than classic, really. More along the lines of Supreme. They have more fine options in filet mignon than you can shake a stick at. Waygu and Kobe are just the beginning. They serve a filet so limited there are only 300 head of cattle worldwide per year that produce it. My most recent visit I settled on the Kobe-Angus hybrid 10 oz filet and it did not disappoint!

If a filet isn't your thing - say you prefer a porterhouse, New York, or Chateubriand, they've got you covered there too. Available in all the same pedigrees as the filet - my personal favorite.

They have an extensive wine list. Pages and pages of beautiful reds, oaky bright whites, and everything in between. Right now the cocktail menu is good, not great, but it's updated fairly often -seasonally, I think. I drank pear lemon drops all night. I would love to see a bit more creativity using floral, citrus, herbal, and spicy infusions.

Much like El Gaucho, sides are seperate and for the table. I love the variety of veg offered and all the preparations. Sprouts w/bacon, asparagus w/bearnaise, sweet corn w/butter, etc. There are maybe 8 to choose from. Or go with a starch like a baked potato w/all the fixings, or a garlic mash.

Lots of bar space, better than average bartenders, very trendy after work meet-up spot. Usually pretty busy at happy hour. The bar in and of itself is large. It hosts high tables and a few cozy booths in addition to the plentiful seating along the long, marble bar. Floor to ceiling windows make urban people watching fun.

The restaurant is even bigger and full of intimate, comfortable booths around the perimeter. Lots of tables as well. Servers are the best of the best.

Apps are great - think wagyu strips, crab cakes, and oysters by the dozen - served w/a delightful champagne mignonette, and also lemon & cocktail sauce, which us heathens appreciate.

Parking? I say don't. Valet all the way, baby! Opens at 4pm. Otherwise there are a ton of pay lots nearby. It's honestly cheaper to valet though, and I always do. 5
