I went to this place few days ago. It's like a steak house. It's in richmond close to the sandman hotel. Not the one where Moxies is (close to Costco) but actually the one beside Steve Nash's gym. The place is beautifully designed, very pretty, very dark like catcus club but a tad nicer. Everyone was extremely nice and I had dinner there.

I had a french onion soup, my buddy got seafood chowder. The french onion soup and the chowder was like 7 dollars which was not expensive at all. I got a party platter and my friend got prime rib steak. The prime rib was done medium well and he really enjoyed it. My party platter had baked chips, bourbon wings, shrimp fritters, ahi tuna wrap, beef ends.

This was a platter so everythign were bite size. The chips were great and crunchy, the bourbon wings was good, the shrimp fritter had a weird taste to it. The beef ends are any cuts of meat they can't sell and just put it there as a appetizer (i think it was a great idea from a kitchen standpoint) lastly, the ahi tuna wrap. The ahi tuna wrap I had an issue with, it was with a wrap + nooles as a filling wrapped wtih a piece of tuna. the tuna was about 2.5 cm thick. Now, as we know tuna being that thick tends to have membrane that's hard to cut thru with just ur teeth. The noodles was bland, it did have a hint of washibi but i couldn't finish it because it was so hard to bit half into a tuna roll that's 2.5cm thick and not bite it in tear it in half.

I gave them feedback and they offered to comp. my expresso which i didn't expect. the entire meal was great, it was just the tuna which i had trouble. it was very nice of them.

The dessert was great. they make everything in the kitchen. We ordered a 24 layer cake. Damn the thing was huge. you could share with 4 people. it also came with vanilla ice cream and boy oh boy the ice cream is freaking amazing.

decor 9/10
food 8.5/10
price: $$$$ out of 5

It is a steak house so you can't expect the prices of Catcus club but to tell you the truth it doesn't justify for being a fine dinning prices to be that expensive either.
