Our table reservation wasn't available. They said they had walk ins ??? We ate at the bar. They came past us and sat a group of 4 that had a reservation after us.

They offered to give us a better cut of steak. It was the toughest filet mignon we've ever had. You couldn't even cut it let alone chew it. The broccoli rabi was overdone. They didn't charge us for our dinner. They were very nice, kept apologizing. Offered us another option to take home. We declined.
