Food Quality
Pros:

"Absolutely recommend to visit here, it’s a 12/10 experience 👌"
"The food was exceptional overall, especially the steak tartare which was phenomenal."

"Steak was spot on, scallops were excellent, lobster bisque was great."
"The lamb stew was superb, the sauce perfection, the lamb practically melted in my mouth."

Cons:
"However, I wish the food had been a bit warmer when it arrived at the table."
"The escargot, which was disappointingly tasteless."
"The dip sandwich was bland, regretted ordering it."
"The meat was quite dry and chewy, I had a dry aged NY strip, for $98 might have expected a little bit more tenderness."
"Only complaint was the french fries were soft and a bit soggy, which was disappointing."
"Both of our dishes came out lukewarm, asked to heat them up and was barely an improvement."
"The lobster bisque was way too salty."

"Oh, and there was a roach crawling on the pillar right next to where my friend was sitting, next to our food, LOL."
