We sent our steaks back twice and they were not right. On the way out we spoke to the manager who coldly said well will do better next time. I did not tell him that there will be no next time. In Baltimore this restaurant is excellent.

This RC in Tampa did not disappoint. Service was prompt and friendly, bread just out of the oven, crab cakes and lobster bisque delicious and so were our steaks. We took our desserts to go, were too full. Pricey, but worth evey penny.

I just ate here for my first time on April 16th 2013 and the aged steak was excellent. The service was top notch as well. It is a little pricey but well worth every penny. Make your reservations well in advance and expect an exceptional dinner in a great atmosphere! This is a wonderful place to for a date night... More

From the parking valet to the bartender (while waiting for our son to join us), to the wine steward to the wait staff ... excellent, personalized service with all the ambience you could want. The martini was just dry enough, the wine was just the right complement to the steak (as always, superior and just as ordered), and the service... More

Shocking to be served a pricey filet on a searing hot plate, temp allowing the release of fats to fill the plate, making for a greasy and very unappetizing look and taste. Found myself pushing the cut to the raised plate edge to try to escape the pool of oil. Not the way to present or enjoy a filet. My... More

We have been to over 10 locations and Tampa so far is #1. Although the food quality is always the best at all the locations, the service in Tampa is always top notch. The beef and lamb are by far the best flavors in the biz. Waiters are excellent with wine recommendations. Reservations are always right on time!
