The steak

The wagyu is excellent and precise, but the best bites can be so rich they turn the table into a committee.

Sides and apps

Crispy potatoes bring balance and joy. The apps are polished, though not every dish needs a dramatic pause.

Drinks

Whisky and cocktails both perform well, especially when paired with pretending you understand the whole menu.

Service

Professional and measured, though occasionally the pacing gets a little too composed.

Vibes

Date-night monster. Sleek, dramatic, and built for people who own jackets.

Final verdict

A WAG powerhouse and a Steakboiz analytics darling with value concerns.
