Well curated smaller menu with excellent steak and well priced wines

It was our first time at EnoSteak and we knew it was a “special occasion” restaurant, but I still wasn’t prepared for how expensive it was. The food was delicious, but I feel it was served too quickly considering we had brought a bottle of wine with us ($40 corkage fee) that we would have appreciated having a bit more time to enjoy between courses. The porterhouse steak we ordered, which was highly recommended by our waiter, cost $132!! Our sides, mushrooms and truffle pasta, were outstanding and I think if I ever go back I’ll just order those and be very happy. My appetizer beet salad was excellent, but for $16, felt a bit skimpy, especially because it was served on a very large plate and only took up the little round hole in the middle of it. My husband’s onion soup starter was excellent, but I was surprised that they served it when he wasn’t at the table. (The restrooms are outside of the restaurant, down and around the corner in the hotel lobby.) We enjoyed two delicious cocktails pre-dinner as well, that cost about $20 each. Our waiter was excellent, as was the food, but I was left with the overall feeling that our bill, which was over $300, was just unnecessarily high. Not sure I’d rush back anytime soon. If I do recommend it, it will be with the caveat that it is very pricey.

I would not return. No ribeye on the menu. Creamed spinach cold. Prime rib is better at black angus. Waitress told my birthday guests her “free” dessert was coming out…so she ruined the surprise. Dessert didn’t come out with her name as I requested. Party of 4 all 4 agreed we would not return. No one was pleased with dinner. No one wants to pay $500 for a mediocre dinner

Amazing prime rib.. great service and sensational wine selection. Highly recommend

Food was mediocre. French onion soup was inedible. Steak was just okay. Scallops were appetizer size. Best thing was the bread and butter. (Amazing butter!) Overall not impressed and won’t return.

Great wine selection. The menu was limited but everything we ordered was great!

The service was extremely attentive. Elaine was our server and she was thoughtful, helpful, and available, without hovering. Her suggestions were excellent and she thoughtfully added the touches that made it a very memorable meal.

Great good and ambiance. Staff was amazing!

Excellent customer service by Elaine and Joshua. Pleasant conversation and menu suggestions. Entrees and desserts were delicious! Thank you...looking forward to returning! Also, Larry is an amazing host whom we encountered at Raya and Eno Steak.

Excellent service food was great private romantic table
