    Baja steak salad with violently overcooked steak.

    For the money, this may very well be the worst restaurant in Boca. I arrived for my 5:30 reservation to an almost empty dining room. Only two other tables seated. It still took them nearly 5 minutes to greet and seat us. I immediately put in an order off the kid's menu, a chicken schnitzel and French fries, and asked for that to be brought out as soon as it was ready. That was around 5:40pm. Keep in mind there's no complimentary bread or anything else. About 10 minutes later, I ordered the Baja steak salad. What showed up, a good 10 minutes before the schnitzel, was 4 or 5 cubes of steak mixed with a blend of guacamole and some sort of "crema" that our server couldn't even tell us what it was made of. And along with those little cubes was a strip of shoe leather. One side was completely hammered beyond recognition. Finally, almost 45 minutes and 3 follow ups after ordering the expedited kid's meal, the schnitzel arrived. Once again, absolutely hammered and tough to the touch. I couldn't even get my toddler to eat it or the fries with ketchup. And ketchup fixes everything for toddlers. At that point, I had to leave to find my kid some food. The rest of my party had no choice but to stay behind and await their fates. It had been an hour with no food, but I expect that is better than what they might eventually get. The prices are absurd, and somehow the food and service are truly dreadful. There might not be a worse restaurant at this price point in all of South Florida. Steer clear. Go literally anywhere else. Or just go on a hunger strike. This place is *bad*.

Our options were 5:00 or 8:45, so we took the 8:45 reservation. We arrived around 8:20 to see if they might be able to seat us a little earlier. We were greeted right away, told our table would be ready soon, and offered champagne while we waited. Such a nice touch! The restaurant itself is beautiful. It's dark, modern, upscale, and romantic, with a large bar and lounge featuring live jazz music, as well as a separate dining area. We ended up sitting in the lounge and loved the atmosphere. Our server, Adrianna, was extremely friendly and attentive. We started with drinks. We ordered the Private Plane, which comes with a cute little paper airplane and a large square ice cube, and a vodka martini. Both were excellent and strong, which I personally prefer! We decided to do several appetizers instead of entrées and ordered the lobster tacos, Wagyu dumplings, and burrata and tomato salad. Everything was excellent with great portions and tons of flavor. The lobster tacos were outstanding and probably my favorite lobster tacos I've ever had. Then came dessert. We couldn't decide between the Bananas Foster and the brownie with ice cream. Adrianna told us she had an idea and would take care of it. She came back with both desserts on the house! We were completely surprised. They were both so good that I honestly couldn't decide which one I liked better, so I'm glad we got to try both! The manager also stopped by to check on us, which was another nice touch. What really stood out was how special they made us feel. It was just an ordinary Saturday date night for us, but from the champagne when we arrived to the service and surprise desserts, they turned it into something memorable. Excellent food, drinks, atmosphere, and service. We will absolutely be back!

The service was excellent- wanted to acknowledge Ismael, who was super attentive & really helped with a lot. 1st I want to say that the bread that was served was totally amazing. I usually avoid it- but could not! There was like a date nut or banana nut bread that was too good to pass up. I started with the Caesar Salad. Interesting- since I tasted a balsamic flavor. The lady sitting next to me thought what I tasted was anchovies- ok. Whatever- the salad was good. I chose sliced Filet Mignon & roasted potatoes - served with creamed spinach.

We have ordered some solid food and tasty apps here but this time was just for a chill beverage. I got a expresso martini which they made quickly and perfectly. she got a French 75 which they made like they made it 10 times a day(which they probably do). It is one of the best pop in spots or dinner in Boca. I'm often thinking for an excuse to stop in to this classy joint.

We started with a few drinks at the bar, where Yardin was the absolute sweetest. She took such great care of my parents before we even arrived, which meant so much. And the exceptional service didn't stop there -- they truly rolled out the red carpet for us. Stanley made sure I felt incredibly special for my birthday, and the team helped us select the perfect bottle of red wine to pair with dinner. The food was absolutely amazing. What makes the steaks here so special are the high broilers they use, creating that perfect crust while seasoning them simply and perfectly with salt, pepper, and butter. My boyfriend's go-to appetizer is the baked shrimp, while I opted for something lighter with the beef carpaccio. For entrées, I ordered the bone-in filet, and we also shared the veal, a 16oz NY strip, and the ribeye -- all cooked to perfection. I couldn't skip my favorite béarnaise sauce. For sides, we went all out: creamed spinach, fettuccine Alfredo, cheesy mashed potatoes, onion rings, potatoes Lyonnaise, and charred Brussels sprouts. Every single one was delicious. The grand finale was their butter cake, which is absolutely my favorite and the perfect way to end the night. What a truly wonderful birthday experience!

How it sits us at a booth directly next to the bar which had been empty since we arrived that 40 minutes earlier. Seriously? In the meantime, the bar overflowed with the usual selection of Boca, babes, and pretentious men with bad rugs. Service was good, however, and the food was definitely B or a Level,, in fact, my French Dip sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. My dining partner could barely finish their fish sandwich due to it's sheer size. It is worth mentioning that the menu definitely comes at a price point higher than most chain restaurants. If they can only provide the dining experience without all of the locals who jammed the place and carrying on conversations as loudly as they can, you really have something.
