The different meats were decent. Our party really enjoyed the lamb. We had to ask for the filet because it was never offered which was disappointing. Our waitress disappeared after checking on us once and we never saw her again. We had to ask another waitress for our check. Best part of the evening for me was the fried cheese that they offered to start the meal. I wish they had offered it again!
