Came in with no reservation on Friday 7pm, there were empty tables. The host said we needed a reservation, ok fine what’s the next available? He said 8pm, that is fine too. As soon as he got on the tablet, he said only 8:15 available. So we came back at 8:15. He had such a bad attitude from the moment we walked in to the moment we paid. The food was not good enough to make up for the terrible attitude the host had. We ordered 2 steaks and fries but they ended up giving me my check before all my food came. When I asked about it, they said it’ll be ready in 3 minutes. We were already half way through our meal at this point. I didn’t think fries could take longer than 2 steaks. Also, when it came to paying, I asked the host if they accepted Amex which he said no which is understandable as most places don’t take Amex. But I asked if they accept visa which he replied no. When I left, I saw the door literally have a visa decal which meant to me that visa is accepted. Seemed a little discriminatory. I hope Management sees this review and checks the hosts attitude...
Read moreA chain restaurant serving aged beef. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side with tables that are quite close together. The menu indicates there’s a side buffet with the steak but it’s small, consisting of a couple of soups, kimchi, pickled vegetables, a selection of ice cream and drinks. The borscht soup tasted good with tender chunks of beef. I tried the flat iron steak, which appeared to be cooked medium rare despite a request for medium well. Never fear - the steak came with a small heated stone so that you can heat pieces to the level of “doneness” you prefer. I’ve never seen that before. It’s a nice idea. I did enjoy the pepper sauce, which had a spicy kick to it. Vegetables with the meal are served raw and cold. I was not expecting that and not my cup of tea at all with steak. Ice cream was good quality. Service was very efficient. Food ordering is done using a web app. The prices are a little higher than I would have expected for the restaurant style in Taipei but overall not a bad deal including soup, ice...

Pretty annoyed they do not sell the Tomahawk that is on the web page, and I should have known better when I saw a buffet of eat as much as you can pickles and ice cream!!!
Steak ordered rib eye and the fillet, executed well but both were tasteless and the fillet was very chewy. Service wise usual to be expected, plates come whenever its ready so not all are served at the same time. Also you got to keep checking that you received all the sides of your order as this was consistently forgotten by the service.
Pay a little more for a better steak...
