Me and my buddy went here on a late Saturday afternoon, it wasn’t too busy. This is a very nice restaurant. Nice booth seating that wraps around the table, cool modern design and unique artwork throughout.
The food was phenomenal. We got the alligator bites as an appetizer, they were good but I’m not a huge fan of the buffalo sauce on them, and they were loaded with that sauce. I got the exotic duo as an entree, and it was scrumptious. Cooked perfect medium rare, both the camel and kangaroo. The mashed potatoes and vegetables that came with the meat were delicious, and the glaze was very flavorful. We got the dessert platter and all of them were good, especially the ice cream and strawberry cake.
The drinks here are so good, you can’t go wrong with any of them. I opted for the Steak and Tonic margarita and pomegranate martini, both were crafted with high attention to detail and perfect strength.
Our server, Nadia, was excellent. She was very good on refilling our water, brining us anything we needed, and very friendly and knowledgeable about the food. All of the staff here are great from what I have experienced.
After dinner we went into the speakeasy for a drink, it’s so cool in there. Would highly recommend checking it out. Expensive place but worth it in my opinion!

The preference from our waitress for the alligator bites, truffled macaroni, and scallops were impeccable. The service was awesome and the manager was constantly in attendance to ensure great service. The drinks were phenomenal and refreshing. I would go back and highly refer.

Ate dinner at the bar on a Thursday eve. Pictured is the cowboy burger and hydroponic mixed green salad. Everything was excellent. Burger was properly cooked medium and super juicy, and the onion ring added nice texture along with the unusual BBQ sauce. The salad was a nice blend of sweet and bitter - could have used a bit more pear, but not a huge deal. Nice selection of beers too. We will be back!

Tonight, we went to Steak & Tonic for date night, and it had its ups and downs. The lobster bisque was on point, and the bread pudding was absolutely delicious, but unfortunately, the main courses were way over salted, which took away from the meat itself. I feel like wagyu should speak for itself and be lightly seasoned instead of hidden under layers of salt. I am on the fence if I'd go back for the cost if every bite isn't exceptional. I will give credit to the staff, which far beyond exceeded expectations with great customer service and knowledge of the product.

The ambiance in the restaurant is beautiful. The alligator bites were delicious. The Surf n Turf pasta was good, but the salt overpowered the meal. The wine selection is nice. There are a lot of different options. Overall, it was a good first experience, and it's a good spot for date night. However, you can't bring birthday balloons or cake in the building. They don't allow that.
