Being an avid House of Prime Rib(HOPR)customer for over a decade, I made sure to temper my expectations with this restaurant that has only been open for a couple of months…with that in mind, I must say that my family and I were pleasantly surprised with our overall experience. The ambiance was cute and elegant…the main dining area felt a bit chaotic with the design…large, two leveled room with a high ceiling that felt cluttered in the middle. Tables were tightly compacted and I felt like no matter how close I sat towards my table it seemed like I was in the way of the staff. There’s a separate dining room with its own bar that felt more lounge-like and intimate. I didn’t get to see the upper garden area/outside area. Now to the important part… the food!! Similar to HOPR, they had 3 options for cut size…plus another for kids and each cut includes a salad and 2 sides. They even have an option for sharing… for a small price of course. The salad options were okay… felt light on the dressing but the sides were delicious… pending on how you like your creamed spinach, this creamed spinach was delicious as well as the potatoes gratin. The star of the show/prime rib was definitely impressive! To those that love prime rib, you’ll definitely be able to taste the subtle texture and nuance of the flavor. I am not going to compare it to HOPR…just unfair to do that. Overall, the entire experience was great… solid 4/5 stars. The pricing is a bit on the higher side and I’m sure there will be tweaks and changes as it continues to grow but I will say this…the east bay definitely now has a go to prime rib spot for those special or even ordinary occasions to go to!

Our waitress was amazing! She was everything a customer and an employer is looking for. I don’t remember her name but she has brown hair and an 11 year old son. She up sold me on a cocktail, gave us great recommendations, awesome service and let us know about other things the restaurant has to offer. The food was great! The atmosphere was perfect! And those lavender cosmos are divine. We’ll definitely be back sooner than later.

Outstanding experience overall. Great service with lots of smiles. The food is absolutely phenomenal. Very friendly staff as well. The restaurant was packed out the entire visit, but there was no lack of attention. I love that they bring your steak à la carte but then mix and serve the side dishes for you. Upstairs they bring you the cocktails and leave the shaker. It’s a great value because you end up getting twice as much drink for the price! We had the margarita and Grey Goose martini. Wines by the glass are reasonably priced and it’s a generous pour, too. Extensive wines by the bottom menu. I love that it’s easy to get in and out of this establishment, with valet right in front or room for Lyft. It is now our favorite steak place!

We had so much fun watching our chef prepare our steaks, seafood, veggies & fried rice on our teppanyaki table! Great food & service!

The waiter was attentive and very efficient. The food was fantastic. We had a great time we’re not rushed, and it was Christmas Eve.
