We shared one of the massive steaks, creamed spinach, French fries, Mac and cheese and asparagus. All was excellent. Didn't need dessert but got a pecan pie anyway. Pie was good, whipped cream was over the top. Only knock on the restaurant as a whole is it seemed a little more run down than I'd expect of a place of this caliber, particularly the bathroom. I'm also a beer drinker, not a cocktail drinker, and thought their selections were a bit lacking.

I really wanted to love this place, especially given the price point and reputation, but…read moreunfortunately our experience fell far short of what you would expect from a steakhouse of this caliber. From the moment we sat down, the service felt inattentive and inconsistent. Bread was dropped off without any explanation or introduction, and throughout the meal we repeatedly had to flag staff down--for menu guidance, drink refills, and even basic items like a steak knife after our food had already been served. What stood out most was the noticeable difference in how we were treated compared to other tables. We had come from a basketball game and were dressed more casually, and it genuinely felt like that impacted the level of attention and care we received. Nearby tables appeared to receive far more engagement, recommendations, and overall hospitality. For a restaurant at this price point, I expect knowledgeable staff who can confidently guide guests through the menu, including wine or drink pairings. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. When we asked for suggestions, the responses were vague and unhelpful, and at times felt dismissive--especially when a younger member of our group was steered toward overly simple options rather than being properly informed. The food, which could have redeemed the experience, was equally disappointing. The chicken dish was completely under-seasoned and lacked any real presentation--honestly resembling something you might expect from a cafeteria rather than a high-end steakhouse. The steak itself was poorly executed, and there were no accompaniments or recommendations offered (no sauces, enhancements, or pairings that you would typically expect at a restaurant of this level). Drinks were not refilled when meals were served, no dessert options were presented, and there was little to no effort to elevate the experience at any point during the evening. Even when asking about the restaurant's specialty (the bacon), the explanation we received was unclear and didn't reflect pride or knowledge in what is supposedly a signature item. At the end of the night, the bill simply did not match the quality of service or food. I had hoped to treat my best friend and her son to a memorable dining experience, but instead it felt awkward, uncomfortable, and ultimately disappointing. There is a lot of potential here, but significant improvements in service, consistency, and overall execution are needed to justify the prices being charged.

I went through the salad and hot side bar and tried a little of everything--black beans and plantains were especially good. Before checking out, I stopped at the grill for sausage, picanha, and brisket. The meat was perfect: well seasoned, tender, and clearly the highlight. Portions were generous, and the whole meal (including a tall passion fruit juice) came out to about $25, which felt like excellent value. The restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is casual and functional rather than fancy. Pro tip: pay attention to timing--when Mass lets out nearby, it fills up fast. Highly recommend, especially for meat lovers. Come hungry. I'd absolutely return.

The Bad: the service was EXTREMELY slow despite the restaurant being about 60% full early on Saturday.

Appetizers came out relatively quickly but then we waited probably 45 minutes for the mains to come, and my rare burger had to be refired. Service was just OK, not especially warm or welcoming. Prices are pretty high: aside from the burger, entrees are in the $40s-50s. Honestly, I would come back if the service was wait times were better.

Whatever reason, I thought I did a review on this place years ago, as I've been coming here for…read moreyears, and I always have given it 4 1/2 five star rating because the food was fantastic and they had by far the best clam chowder ever. It was a type of place that I would say don't judge a book by its cover, it was a sneaky good place with incredible and creative seafood options. The lobster pot pie was delicious, the lobster quesadilla out of this world, the steak tips, very tender, oyster, Rockefeller, sinfully addictive... a lot of great offerings. Came back after a long time of not being here back in the fall and had a wonderful experience with my girlfriends. Came back today, and it was absolutely catastrophic! I don't know if it's under new management, but the whole place was chaotic, the service was awful, and the food was terrible... The clam chowder wasn't clammy in flavor like it used to be, it it was heavily laden with bacon bits, which, if you're a bacon fan is all the way for you, but I'm getting clam chowder, not bacon chowder. I ordered the mac & cheese lobster which was described as a creamy mac & cheese with lobster and truffle oil... There was not one single sign of truffle oil on this dish at all. It actually did have generous amounts of lobster, but it was far from creamy and the pasta itself was dry. My other half had the fried clams, they rate as some of the worst clams we have ever tried, and the portion was extremely skimpy, and the clam composition was mostly that grizzle! ( the attached photo is the dish as it was delivered to us... It had not yet been touched. )The fries were ice cold, and to boot what made it worse, no signs of life from our server...hello, hello...I felt like Adele! The gentleman who took our order was busy going outside, taking care of the tables outside went by us countless times and didn't even pay mind to us-you've thought we were invisible! The other waitresses that walked by, couldn't even understand body language, maybe they did, but didn't care because it wasn't their table, but we sat there for 40 minutes and no one ever came to check on us. Never had this issue with this place before, which makes me think that it's really under new management, given how the food was, and the lack of care of the personnel. I doubt I will be coming back here again given the experience, and I never do this, but for the first time ever I didn't leave a tip because they were not deserving of a tip. We finished our sodas, we were thirsty, and we were never offered anything more to drink. Why - because again no one came to check on us. When I finally called one of the waitresses over, she came and asked if I want to wrap up the food and I told her I needed a container and I pointed to my husband's food and I told her that the clams were god awful and why they were bad and unfortunately, we were neglected by our server and all other staff for that matter. She told me she would take the clams off the bill and she would come back with a container for my dry lobster mac & cheese. Five minutes goes by no sign of the waitress 10 minutes goes by no sign of the waitress or my container, finally I call the person who looked like she was manning the floor and checked on all other tables and how they were doing except for OURS Was there something wrong with us? We weren't dressed like bums, we sat in the corner, we didn't have extra sets of eyes, we didn't have an extra arm attached to our body, we were just regular, typical people, but she ignored us. Bill came out to $33.50 for bacon chowder, dried lobster mac & cheese, and two Ginger ales... Never again! Honestly, the way we were treated was shameful, hopefully they learn from this lesson and they do better... No one deserves this, especially with the cost of food these days. It took us 50 minutes to get here, and we made it a trip because we've had great experiences in the past, but seeing that all three dishes were disappointing makes me believe that this is not the same place that it used to be.
