My fiancé and I recently had dinner there and had such a great experience! We sat on the terrasse and absolutely loved the atmosphere, it felt upscale but still relaxed and comfortable. The food was excellent, especially the shrimp cocktail! Everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. It’s the perfect date night spot close to home, and we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend

God be thanked, my husband and I celebrated our 42nd Wedding Anniversary here. The food was amazing—SO expensive but delectable! A complimentary dessert was offered to us on this special occasion. The wait staff were very attentive.

I got the rib eye steak junior with their mashed potatoes. Those were just delicious! Definitely worth checking it out if you want fine dining experience.

The server despite being professional and amicable. The manager was very rude and unfriendly toward us. The steak wasn't good and visually appealing. The salmon tartar wasn't flavorful. Really not worth the money. Never coming again, Please save your money and time and don't even think about reserving at this venue.

I’m writing this because I believe a restaurant should be upfront about its preparation. The steak I was served was remarkably bland—it tasted and felt as though it had been thrown onto the grill immediately after being thawed. When you are paying a premium price, you are paying for the chef’s expertise and professional seasoning. It is frustrating to have to "self-serve" salt and pepper at the table just to make the meat palatable; that completely defeats the purpose of dining out at this price point. If the kitchen isn't going to season the meat properly, they should at least ask the customer's preference beforehand. People don't pay high-end prices to finish the cooking process themselves. I hope the management takes this seriously, as the current quality does not match the bill.

Went yesterday for my birthday. I had high expectations for this place but was disappointed by the service, food & the girl with the superiority complex working up front. If you’re thinking about eating here, just skip this place altogether.

The experience at this restaurant was impeccable. Sami was phenomenal from start to finish. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had 5 star service. We cannot say enough kind things about him. The food was top notch. We ordered the tuna tar tar, ribeye, and prime rib beef. We highly recommend coming here, the food is 100% worth the price, as well as the service.

After 3 months PK still not respond to my disaster evening, is this the “ excellent service the corner stone of your success,“ you boost? I go to RibnReef for the best, not care of $, unfortunately, that night was …steak unevenly cut, resulted unevenly grilled, with waiter needed to be reminded I ordered a Coke, not received coffee ordered, having dessert and my “ hot” towel cold, the waiter barely acknowledged our table! :( Why PK responds to great reviews but ignores a bad review? Your response, Peter,” no comment,” instead of making a long-term customer satisfy?!

4 * - 1 * The valet removes a good star right from the get go . Takes my car floors it down the sidewalk spins the tires and scrapes the bottom . I mentioned it nicely the other guy. He did the trick where you act like you don't understand untill I repeated 4 times . Tell your friend not to floor my car and spin the tires , it's not very respectful. They also didn't lock my friend's car . Which is annoying. Food was good . I just feel like I cant tell you that the meat is better than gibbies, maybe , I'd say less tender even . And over there you do get sides and are even less cheap on the table complementary Pickel and coleslaw, bread etc... . But good nonetheless , I knew I was gonna get a salty bill , and that's ok. Although the forced 20% tip straight up criminal , not a fan at all. Service was just ok. Speciallly at the beginning since it took 25 mins to get our drinks . Oh and getting back the car. The valet who acted like he didn't understand why I was annoyed with his friend flooring my car , stayed and did the , I'm waiting for a tip gesture for like 3 mins . Which I still did tip , not sure why . Especially since , why the hell was shifter super grocely wet when I came in . Anyway I've been to queue cheval back In the days , Moishes , and felt like I was paying for a good luxurious experience. Not the case here. I feel like if you read this. You'll see my 3* are generous. And make a lot of sense. But everyone is entitled to their opinion. Merci

This is the first time I’ve decided to write a review about this restaurant. We don’t come here often, but over the past 25 years we’ve visited multiple times. The service and the quality of the food have remained consistently high throughout the years. Our waiter was highly professional, very reserved, and, deservedly, a bit arrogant 😁 His face clearly showed a mix of impatience and condescension toward a very curious (and slightly demanding) guest who kept asking for things☺ The steak, the octopus, and everything else were delicious. However, one question still lingers in the air… The Caesar salad I ordered as an appetizer was prepared right in front of me in a large bowl, with all the ingredients mixed together.....it was quite mesmerizing to watch. If not for one detail: our waiter brought everything over, set it up, and proceeded to mix the salad with his bare hands...no gloves. After that, he plated it and carried everything back, at the same time picking up dirty dishes from nearby tables😁🥳🤦‍♀️
