    The menu has shrunk considerably. The server was great. The food was very good, with the notable exception of my porterhouse steak, which was overcooked on the inside (medium, not medium-rare) and anemic on the outside (pale, no crust). It looked like it was cooked on a grill that was not hot enough and for too long.

    We reserved for the Valentine’s experience that’s costs $200 per person for a 5-course tasting. When we arrived, the host tells us they’re behind. They had us wait at the bar where we ordered drinks that never arrived until we we were finally seated at our table an hour later. The ambiance was not it. We were seated in what seemed like a basement wine cellar. It was very chilly. The seats were not comfortable at all and we sat there for the entirety 3 hours of the experience because the kitchen was very backed up. When the dishes arrive, we were famished from the wait time. We sat there for 3 hours for 5 dishes that occasionally arrived cold. They were still delicious, I am sure when they’re served hot - they probably tasted even better. While the food was still yummy when serve semi-cold (my steak) at Alexander’s Steakhouse, I will never come back because this event showed me that they were only interested in booking as many customers as they can possibly fit in the restaurant while providing inadequate service. I should’ve stayed home, at least I can serve a hot meal.

    We had been wanting to try this spot for sometime, but being on the other side of town, we finally made the effort. The atmosphere feels a bit stark and the band a bit loud, but love the “industrial” look of the interior for a steakhouse. We opted for the “ala cart” menu however felt the portions we small for the price. Don’t get me wrong, they were divine, however small and pricey. They bone-in filet for 2 also felt smaller than 12oz…but was cooked to perfection! Don’t miss the Miyatake mushrooms and mashed potatoes.

    I understood that being a high end restaurant it was never going to be a cheap meal, but prices were really up there. Only potato side was a truffled mash at $36 in a small bowl. I’m gluten free and they had no potato or bread options for me. To be fair the steak was excellent, appetizers tasty but tiny. Had a very nice meal, but ouch, take a big wallet.

    Sometime you give yourself permission to splurge a little and enjoy a romantic dinner out. Everything on the menu looked so good, we are glad we chose The Chef’s Hitachi Menu, a 9 course meal definitely to tantalize your taste buds. Our favorites were Hitachi Shot, Beef Tartare, Uni Toast, Striped Bass, and the highlight of the night the wagu strip. Something so delicious and tender, it meats the minute you put it in your mouth. Half way through the meal, I had visions of the Chef Ralph Fiennes coming into the kitchen and everyone yelling, “Yes Chef!”. Each plate was a visual and palate adventure. Service that night was impeccable and our wait staff were tentative to our needs. We will be back. And thank you for a memorable night.

    Unfortunately the wait staff was not very knowledgeable about food preparation and the wine list. Both our steaks were way overcooked and the quality and taste of the meat was also very poor. On top of that, the staff only offered to replace one of our steaks. It was a very disappointing (and expensive) dinner to say the least.

    As a steak enthusiast, i was expecting better quality at those price points. Waiter was pretty pushy and rude entire time trying to get us to buy more sides and drinks when we didn’t want any and would not stop. My ribeye was decent but the glaze was way too strong and was hard to eat entire steak. My wife’s filet was similar.

    Dining room was freezing cold. We were all eating our winter coats and so were guests at most other tables. It was a cold winter night and they said “we know. It’s the windows”. Kind of crazy for what was a $400 / head dinner. Over priced for what it is. Wouldn’t recommend.
