People either love or love to hate this place, and I have to say I fall into the former category. Ok, maybe love is too strong a word...but I actually really, really liked this place. Ignore the feeling that you are on the set of a Cougar reality show and focus on your delicious food instead of looking at the botoxed faces and cocky wall street types at the surrounding tables. Staff and service were great - we hung by the bar while our table was being prepared. I ordered a barely Brazilian cocktail - which I didn't like at all- and the bartender graciously offered to change up my drink to something more to my liking. We were then promptly seated into one of the large, cushy booths. We ordered shrimp rice krispies as an appetizer , and oddly enough there was nothing "crispy" about this dish. It was like shrimp swimming in a peanut sauce with rice in it. As strange of a combination as this sounds, it was very, very good and the flavors worked really well together. Our main meal was excellent - steaks were juicy and well seasoned and we had the whole rainbow of sides. The jenga look a like parmesan truffle fries, creamed spinach, mac and cheese , creamed-they-must-put-crack-in-it- corn, asparagus - all the works. The sliders are a must too. Whatever that "special sauce" is - pretty damn good. Halfway through my meal, my stomach was begging me to stop stuffing it but I couldn't let my tastebuds down. Desserts, which are typically the highlight of my meals, were just ok (we had the s'more and tres leches cake) - but I'm not sure if I was just way to full at this point. How this restaurant ranks on the -itis scale: 4 out of 5

Impossible to get!!! Even when you're on the guest list!!! Was there to support my DJ friend Thursday night who was working there and he put me on the guest list. Apparently that doesn't matter to "Rob" who was manning the door!!! End up waiting 2 hours and left because of the disappointment. You won't get in without 10 model looking girls OR drive up in a limo with 20 girls and couple guys!!!! I saw this guy trying to get in with money offering to buy a table but even he couldn't get in. WOW. what will it take to get in?
