Wow! What a great steak place. I highly recommend the ribeye with the poblano! The bone marrow bones were on point and the Caesar salad was delicious. Make sure to drink a hearty red wine.
- Daniel StaffordApril 20, 2016Lunch menu: shaved prime rib French dip with pepper jack & ortega chilis on parmesan-crusted Texas toast. Just do it.
- Service is warm and friendly. Happy Hour is fun with decent portions of good food.
- Michael BowerMarch 29, 2010Man o man I heard this was a good restaurant and I tried what happened to be on special. I can't remember what it was called but it was basically a seafood plate on pasta that was to die for. Amazing!
jeffrey eliasenOctober 21, 2012The chile ribeye is fantastic... one of the best steaks I've ever had.
Greta AndersonJanuary 25, 2012Really friendly service.Delicious Bloody Mary.Ordered Steak & Frites.The Frites were good,but my Med-Rare steak was sent out well done,then raw, then burnt on the outside and raw in the middle. Fail.
Temecula Rod RunAugust 24, 2011Awesome Clam Chowder and Shrimp Scampi! Did we mention the Side Salad and Steak Tips!
Brett FuruyaDecember 17, 2013About an hour wait for 2 steaks, that came out over done. Had to send them back when it's about $50 a steak. Oh, we were the only people dining in the entire place. The waitresses were nice though...
Sundays prime rib is $1.50/oz. Comes with 2 delicious side dishes!!
Order steak and chocolate cake and eat it together! Perfection!- Greta AndersonJanuary 25, 2012Happy Hour prices are on the high side. Lowest happy hour price $10 Yikes!
Matt BorgeltApril 17, 2011Took an hour to get our food. My brothers med rare steak was frozen in the middle. My food was really good. I recomend getting baked potato and stay away from cowboy style potatoes. They are just ok.
