I had the beef dip sandwich, which was excellent. Nice crusty bed with an ample amount of tender shaved beef. The dip was fantastic and not too salty which is a common issue for many beef dip sandwiches. The side salad I ordered was a bit disappointing, as it was very basic and had simulated Parmesan instead of real Parmesan. Our server was also excellent as she remembered the details of all the dishes very well and listed out the ingredients to make sure no one had any issues with what was inside their meal.

The house is a bit dark but honestly it adds to the aesthetic. Our server was very knowledgeable and kind. He answered all questions tossed his way and gave various recommendations. I decided to get the snow crab cluster, baked potato and LORD IT WAS DELICIOUS! I usually steer away from crabs due to not wanting to crack and work for the food. But the crab was perfectly cooked and so buttery before even adding butter. The potato was cooked perfectly and the drink was so refreshing. Also loved the bathroom being so clean and well lit for photos. If I'm ever back in town this is the keg location I'd stop at!

Reign is the steakhouse inside the Fairmont Hotel on Front St. As expected, it's a nicely designed…read morerestaurant that is perfect for a date night or business dinner. My wife and I were visiting from out of town and were drawn by their menu that included raw fish preparations, such as hamachi crudo, oysters, and other fresh preparations. John was our waiter. He was professional and personable...but pretty French Canadian, so he could loosen up a little (as I'm writing I'm smiling because he is a terrific guy, just stiff). First we ordered a bottle of wine. We were surprised to see a large selection of great California wines, based upon the current tariffs and resulting political fallout (understandably so). However, the Napa Valley Cabernet was a welcomed benefit to our meal. We started with the hamachi crudo (4/5). I asked John if he had chopsticks. After a long pause, he indicated that they may, but his support staff would have to hunt to find them. Sure enough, 3 minutes later, his support staff came hustling in with 2 pairs of chopsticks. Right then, I knew we were going to have a memorable meal at Reign with John and his team. For our main courses, we both ordered steaks and added foie gras. I ordered the strip loin (5/5) and my wife the petit filet (5/5). Both steaks were cooked perfectly. The foie was scored and seered...it was heaven in a few bites. We can't find foie in California, so this was a treat. The shared side order of pommes frites (5/5) were freshly cut, crispy, and seasoned well. For dessert, we share the blueberry cheesecake (4/5). It was a solid finish to a great meal. Reign had great food, service, and a wine list which differentiates itself from other downtown steakhouses. I highly recommend Reign. Ask for John to be your server and encourage him to loosen up...you'll have a great experience...I promise.

Take the stairs to the covered rooftop... a lovely bar with dining booths and lounge seating, all with a perfectly cooled indoor-outdoor vibe.
