My boyfriend planned my birthday dinner here on a Friday evening and it was my first time. It definitely has an upscale feel with the men who look like bodyguards standing outside. They have a dress code outlined on their website that even mentions they will not let you in if you're under-dressed. He wore dress pants and a button up and I wore a dress with sandals that have a small heel. When we arrived, I noticed other people in pretty casual wear like jeans but there were other people also dressed up.



After the sashimi, we indulged in the iceberg wedge salad that was big enough to share. They gave it to us already placed on two separate plates which was appreciated as our table could only fit so many plates. The iceberg wedge was amazing and had just the right amount of everything. Sometimes the blue cheese could be overwhelming but in this case it wasn't. As for the star of the night, it was the Porterhouse steak that we shared. Our server asked if we'd like our steak sliced for us or if we wanted to cut it ourselves. We opted for the slices. We ordered our steak medium rare which came close to rare but it actually worked out perfectly with the sizzling plate they bring you that looks like it is brushed with melted butter. Oh. Em. Gee. So good. We also got the brussel sprouts with thick chopped pieces of bacon. Those were also amazing. Since it was my birthday, they brought out a complimentary slice of 5 layered chocolate cake with a side of whipped cream. Wow. Wow. Wow. Everything was perfect and the cake still tasted great two days later.
