Let's start off by saying I really appreciated the staff. I don't mean the service while I was at the table, but I mean the hostess who was gracious enough to give us a prime table during peak dinner hours WITHOUT a reservation. Oh yea, did I mention it was Friday night as well? The atmosphere was great. It's perfect for romantic dinners or even with close family members. If you do have trouble seeing in dim atmospheres, I recommend a flashlight app first We didn't order an appetizer, but a bask

We didn't order an appetizer, but a basket of bread was provided along with a sample of their steaks. The bread was fresh and plenty. Perfect to hold you over until the main course.

At our table, we ordered two 250g tenderloins and one 250g sirloin. Let's start with the tenderloins which were ordered medium well. The seasoning was alright, but the cooking could use a little work. The steak was completely rare in the middle and inedible.

The sirloin was ordered medium rare and cooked perfectly. The steak came out thick, juicy, but the texture was just plain awful. It was gummy and even with a steak knife, I found myself struggling to cut the meat. The seasoning was alright, but inconsistent. The middle of my steak was salter than the rest.

The staff could use a little bit more friendliness. No one person asked me how my meal was or if I needed anything else. They took my order, brought the food, brought the bill, and said good bye. I'm not needy, but I would appreciate a smile or at least some care.

Overall, I say this place is average for being recommended as a steak house and the menu only offers two types of steak (sirloin or tenderloin). I might return and try the chorizo, but definitely not the steaks again.
