Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for 3rd+ dates - the all-you-can-eat format at $65+ per person can feel overwhelming early on, plus the meat sweats aren't romantic
Can I get a table without a reservation? Weekday lunches yes, but weekend dinners are packed - try the bar area for walk-ins or expect 60+ minute waits
Is it kid-friendly? Very - kids under 6 eat free, 7-12 half price, high chairs available, and the theatrical meat service entertains them
Best For
Better for: Group celebrations where everyone wants different cuts of meat, impressive business dinners, carnivore birthday parties
Skip if: You prefer intimate settings, want a quick meal, or have vegetarians in your party who'll pay full price for salad bar only
