I'm a little shocked by all the positive reviews from people who also went tonight for Valentine's Day and had such a differing experience from ours. Especially the ones who had the same server and described them as attentive.
The atmosphere: It's incredibly loud. The tables are all in rows, so you're sitting right next to other guests. When we came for our reservation, not all tables were full, and it still felt very crowded.
The service: I asked for lemon twice, and I never received it. (Both times I was told yes right away.) We asked for more bread (ours was burnt), but we never received it. (We were told yes, right away.) Our server bumped into our table and us multiple times when they were talking to the tables next to us. Their butt was often level with our table and bumped into our table several times. I tried to ask about cocktails, but the server just nodded at me and said there were several. Others have described having their server recommend a cocktail, etc. This was very much not our experience, and I never got to order a drink. The service seems to be very hit or miss.
The food: I was really hopeful for the food given some of the positive reviews, but it was very disappointing. Our salads weren't that great. They were soggy and not crisp. Our bread was burnt. The sauce is very watery and just not that impressive. The fries were overcooked. The steak is cold, tough, and very peppery. My first serving was actually okay. However, my date's was very tough. The difference in quality in the two portions was very noticeable. Our second steaks were very peppery compared to the first.
Something positive: parking is surprisingly good for the area.
I do not recommend this place for any sort of special occasion. You'll run the risk of being greatly disappointed. (Unless you somehow get lucky and have a totally different experience for no reason.)
