Fodor's Review:

A carnivore's utopia awaits within these clubby, dark-wood walls. Steak-house staples such as lobster and crab cakes and a massive shellfish platter start things nicely, followed by succulent meats such as the 24-ounce dry-aged porterhouse. The crowd-watching is as tasty as the food: VIPs in striped suits make deals over dessert, and wives in Manolo Blahnik heels sip martinis.

It's another of these upscale steakhouse chains, arguably better than most of its ilk. Excellent breadbasket and service, respectable steak, but ungodly expensive and not the best value for it.

no value for the bucks.
overpriced for food.
restaurant professionals would never visit this restaurant because of high prices.
this is for folks on the expense account and people with excess $$$$ who do not know good food value if it kicked them in the butt.
