My Wife and I tried 13Prime Steak for the first time on Sept 3, for an early anniversary dinner…read more We arrived for our reservation and we were greeted by a friend young lady who greeted us with " Happy Anniversary " and sat us in a very pleasant area of the restaurant. Our Waitress Kathrine " Katy" was the most absolutely amazing waitress we have ever had the pleasure of being served by! She was a perfect example of what a professional waitress should be. She was on point with service, perfect timing with drink refills, appetizer and main salad timing. I cannot stress the fact that I was very impressed with her service. The ambiance was geared more toward trendy " young" which is great for the young trendy crowd, but it was done tastefully and didn't bother us in the least. I don't expect any modern successful places to cater to the old fashion romanticists. As there's not many of us left. So I bet you are wondering what we ate? We started with the Calamari, which was absolutely prepared with perfection. Not many chefs can do it right, but it was absolutely delicious, a flawless creation in my opinion. We chose the 42 oz Tomahawk steak medium rare. I will say without exaggerating that it was absolutely delicious and one I f the best steaks I have ever had. The temp was perfect! The char was absolutely spot on. And it was so tender it melted in your mouth. I want to be sure to give my compliments to the Chef, and thank the manager for a great experience. Although the food was amazing one of the reasons we will come back is because of the impression Kathrine made. I hope she hears about her review.

My partner and I came to celebrate our birthdays and we ordered: Sourdough bread appetizer - bread was crispy yet chewy and the two spread were delicious! You get an olive tapenade spread and a pimento cheese spread; both were very good and offered different taste profiles. Cobb salad - wasn't my favorite. It was heavy on the dressing and blue cheese crumbles which overpowered the overall flavor. I also didn't like how it was served with whole strips of bacon. I would have preferred them slices or crumbled. Wouldn't order again. Sautéed mushrooms - delectable! One of my fav dishes. Super flavorful and not overcooked. Would order again. Mac n cheese - one of the thee top Mac n cheese I've ever tried. Creamy and a little spicy and flavorful. Would definitely reorder and recommend. Filet mignon - cooked perfectly medium rare and was super tender, melt on your mouth goodness! Did not need any sauce or seasoning. Good as is. Perfection. Dry aged ribeye- this was a huge disappointment. There was NO flavor to this steak whatsoever; it didn't even taste like beef. The only positive is the texture; it was super soft and tender, melt in your mouth. Besides the texture, it was really lacking in any flavor. Because it was my birthday, I did get a free dessert which was nice. The reason I'm giving this place a 4 star is because of the service. The host and servers were a little snobby to be honest and I've been to other upscale restaurants with better and friendlier service. Their demeanor was off putting enough that I wouldn't come back unfortunately. Good food, mediocre service.

We headed in at an odd time yesterday around 230pm. It was late for lunch and too early for dinner. Nevertheless, we were seated in the front dining area, and ordered some entrees. The menu offers a lot of familiar favorites that you would expect to see at a a bar/ restaurant. Burgers, sandwiches, salads, and a few specialty plates. For my meal, I ordered The Local burger (no pickles of course) which was absolutely fantastic. Piled high with cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomatoes - this burger was executed to perfection. I ordered it medium, and it came out medium (imagine that). The best part was the sunny side egg that was placed on top. That first bite was heavenly. The yolk breaks, and all the goodness adds a little extra flavor to the already delicious burger. The shoe string fries were seasoned perfectly- I highly recommend this entree. The only thing I would add next time is an element of spice to take things up to another level. My wife ordered the BLTA sandwich , with sweet potato fries. I didn't try a bite because I had enough bacon on my burger , but I did sneak a sweet potato fry , and it was fantastic. My son order the chimichurri steak , he seemed to enjoy it although it may have had too much sauce on it for his liking. Perhaps it would been better if he ordered the sauce on the side. My picky daughter ordered the pesto chicken sandwich ,and she said it was pretty good. My family and I were full , but weren't going to let the dessert options pass us by. My family has a sweet tooth. We all shared the chocolate cake and bread pudding . Both are nice options if you need something sweet to top off your meal. The food and vibe of this place deserves 5 stars. I will deduct one star for the mediocre service and inconsistent food prep. Our meals were coming out one by one which made it awkward when trying to eat together. Our server didn't offer refills on our drinks , and didn't bring us utensils -until we asked for them. I will be back to try more menu items , and enjoy a cold beer while watching the game.

Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The restaurant was not busy when we arrived, but…read morethe service was extremely slow. We waited a long time to place our order, another long wait for our food, and then an especially long time just for our server to return and run our credit card. The timing of the food was also frustrating. My husband and I received our short ribs and mac and cheese and were nearly finished eating before our son finally received his burger. The food itself was okay, but nothing particularly memorable or worth the long waits. We really enjoy supporting local businesses and always hope to find new places to return to, but based on this experience, we will not be coming back.

Both Trevor (the sommelier) and Kelsey go out of their way to make you feel comfortable, and they happily explain all of the dishes you can't pronounce. Our celebratory birthday dinner last night was amazing, from the individual Enzo olive oil focaccia rounds to the spectacular pistachio Basque cheesecake with coconut pandam whipped cream There were many tastebud tickling and delectable combinations of spices and flavors, bursting through at different moments to brighten your culinary experience, and my first course selection of the watermelon, pickled beets, cucumber, goat cheese cream, pistachio dukkah, with cilantro lime vinaigrette was a perfect example of that. The trumpet shaped pasta (trombe) sweet corn, and Gouda was a surprisingly delightful sweet/spicy dish and the risotto of mung beans, kale, beech mushrooms, shrimp and exquisitely slender crisps of onion (the delicious is in the details!) dish was tantalizingly and especially memorable. There was so much attention paid to the little details that make meals exceptional. The palate cleansing watermelon sorbet surprise served in the middle of their prix fixe menu was perfect. Last night was one of the finest of the many times we've been there throughout the years. Trelio is for you if you enjoy amazingly delicious and creative dishes served with down to earth graciousness and elegance.

It turned out to be such an enjoyable spot to dine, and we really appreciated their effort. Our server, Olive, was absolutely fantastic! She was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Every detail of her service was handled beautifully. A big thank you to Olive for making our evening so enjoyable! As for the food, the pizza was absolutely delicious! Our steak had a wonderful smoky flavor from being cooked over an open flame, although we weren't particularly impressed with the meat itself. The salad and potatoes, however, were excellent. Unfortunately, the chocolate dessert served in a glass was disappointing. I understand the idea of balancing chocolate with salt and pistachios to create a more complex flavor profile, but this dessert was surprisingly not sweet at all. It genuinely tasted like salty chocolate, which I found unpleasant. Definitely not something we enjoyed. One other thing stood out to us from a hospitality perspective. We were seated directly across from the pizza chef and the chef working the open-fire grill, yet neither acknowledged us throughout the evening. Not even a smile, eye contact, or a simple "How's the food?" I completely understand that chefs are focused on cooking and that guest interaction isn't necessarily their responsibility. However, when you're working in an open kitchen with guests sitting right in front of you, a little acknowledgment goes a long way. What made it particularly noticeable was that they were chatting with each other throughout the evening while seemingly ignoring the guests just a few feet away. It felt rather unwelcoming, especially in an otherwise excellent hospitality environment. Overall, we loved the atmosphere, the hostesses were wonderful, Olive provided outstanding service, and most of the food was delicious. A little more guest engagement from the open-kitchen team would make the experience even better.

My wife and I had an amazing experience last night- from the appetizer to our main dishes. Everything was executed just perfectly- I wouldn't change a thing with the food. We started with the arancini,which are deep fried risotto balls with mozzarella and pesto embedded in. These little delights are a must try as they are the perfect blend of creamy , salty and crunchy. For our entrees, we ordered the Margherita pizza and rigatoni with sausage. First of all, the wood fired pizza was cooked perfectly with a nice balance of sweetness from the pizza sauce and crunch factor from the dough. The homemade rigatoni pasta was to die for with the sausage ragu working its magic including a subtle spice added throughout to give it that nice kick of flavor. Well done team Annex! As a Sicilian who grew up on the real stuff, I can tell you that this place hits every mark. 5 stars from me and I can't wait to come back! P.S This isn't fast food- expect to wait a bit. Trust me it will be worth the wait! And oh, the dining room is freezing. Bring a coat , and eat fast so your pizza doesn't get cold.

Anyways, with regards to the food, my partner and I got some spicy baked mussels to share, with a ribeye steak and lamb chops for entrees. The mussels were pretty underwhelming - I felt that it was just spicy for the sake of being spicy and didn't offer much in terms of flavor. With the entrees, we asked for the lamb chops to be cooked medium but they came rare, whereas the steak did come in medium rare as ordered. The lamb chops were okay but the steak was extremely salty and a bit too charred; I had to wash down my bites with water. With both entrees we were given a choice of either rice pilaf or garlic baked potatoes. The rice pilaf legit tasted like elementary school lunch rice (the ones with the teriyaki meat patties if you recall the 2000s, iykyk). The potatoes were alright, not bad but not great. Also wanted to note that both dishes came with like 2-3 tiny cherry tomatoes which is barely anything and would last you at most a couple of bites. Last thing I wanted to note is pricing. The lamb chops were in the upper $30s and the steak was $59, which pretty overpriced imo for whay is presented. Of course, that's also on me for trying to go for a "16 oz" steak (which I kinda doubt it was) vs. their pastas or other popular dishes but I think it's worth pointing out. All in all, I really think you can get much better bang for your buck at other semi-fancy/fancy places such as LimeLite or Willow Osteria to name a couple of examples. I would give this a 1 but the service was admittedly quite solid. Sadly, I don't think we'll come back.

They rotated the items quick and we got to try a bunch of stuff. Drinks were also tasty. We decided on the mojitos and I was recommended a mango peach with tajin rim (solid choice). For dessert, we got crème brûlée which was just okay. Easy to skip. Small detail, but they didn't have any kind of complimentary anniversary treat (at least mot for us lol). Every other nicer (and even not as nice) restaurant we've been to for our anniversaries/birthdays came with either champagne or a dessert to celebrate.
