Great steakhouse within walking distance of where we stayed (Hilton Madison Monona Terrace). My wife ordered the Filet Mignon which she said was very good and tender. I ordered the (12oz) New York Strip as I did not feel that the $20 upcharge for the (14oz) Dry Aged New York Strip would be worth that much, I may have been wrong. My steak was an end cut which is known to be a much less desirable cut and the kind that I avoid when shopping out of the meat case. It was tasty enough but (literally) tough to work around the gristle. That was a disappointment, check out the photo of my "leftovers". My measure of a good New York Strip at a premium steakhouse is the kind that I can eat end to end. The hash browns sides were excellent, the Caramel Pecan Cheesecake was interesting.

Service was very friendly and attentive. If we should return I will avoid ordering the New York Strip or make mention of the last one I had.
