Saturday night dinner with friends, reservations are recommended as they are always fairly busy. Nicely varied menu with a lot of different options. Their beverage selection is good with local, mainland and international choices. House cocktails are good (according to my wife) and their bourbon and whiskey selection is fairly extensive. Our food was well prepared and tasty!
Great place for not just steak. The steaks are excellent, but menu is diverse and includes seafood as well as desserts. Staff is friendly and portions are good. Great bourbon/whisky menu, but they did not have many drinks in stock that were in that list.
Great experience every time! This place had fantastic service and creative dishes. Easy reservation process but honestly they never seem to have a terrible wait for walk-ins. Perfect option for a nice dinner with friends and family or a romantic dinner date. 👌

Food:
Oxtail Mac and Cheese - 5/5 - Well hello there! I mean...if there's a dish you want to eat this is IT! In addition to being a very decent portion of food and tasty at that. It's a decent amount of oxtail put into the dish which is nice.
Confit Duck nuggets - 3.5/5 - It's a decent tasting dish. I think what I would like more is to get more of the duck flavoring in the nuggets.
Pumpkin and Brussels - 4/5 - A very hearty veggie dish to compliment the meat and carbs.
Smoked Octopus - 3.5/5 - A good pairing of meat and seafood.
Service: 4/5 - Friendly and attentive service.
Ambiance: 5/5 - It's definitely a very inviting atmosphere. Very modern and rustic feel to it right in the heart of Chinatown.

I just had the best, most AMAZING prime rib and burger of my life. I'll start off by relaying the one and only con which is there are no seating for baby or toddlers such as highchairs or boosters. But don't let this detour you. We made it work and I'm incredibly happy we did. With all the pros, you're going to want to make this restaurant a priority on your "Must Try" list. Pros are they have the absolute, best prime rib on island. You won't find better. Talk about perfectly prepped and seasoned. Au jus and dipping sauce was magic to the taste buds. I grew up in the midwest where some of the highest quality beef is and this place knocked it out! In addition we ordered the burger and holy smokes, so good you close your eyes and savor all the flavor. Buttery bun with the right mix of fixings to make your taste buds sing "what a glorious day to be alive"! The service was on point and professional. The atmosphere was wonderful. I highly recommend you try this place. If you are a foodie, this absolutely can not go untried! No need to look any further, let your tastebuds enjoy pure bliss. We will be back soon!
We stopped into Livestock Tavern for my birthday dinner and boy oh boy was it delicious. We really love the change of pace with this menu, and it's best for carnivores. There are a few vegetarian options, but it's all about the meat. We started with the frisee salad and confit duck nuggets. I ordered the grilled lamb entree and my husband got the duck breast. We also had their apple "pie" for dessert and they brought out ice cream with a candle. While it's seemingly a heavier menu, everything felt very light and fresh, which was so pleasantly surprising. Every veggie, sauce, and nibble was excellent. My husband did the whiskey tasting and enjoyed it as well. They have a few larger tables for bigger parties and lots of space for couples. Also they have a high top area in the bar. We made a reservation about a week out and were seated right away. This spot is a must, especially when you're craving something less typical on the island.
