    My scallops were cold and underdone. I could not mention to server because I didn’t want to upset the flow of the dinner with my children. I told the server to mention to kitchen, but nothing else was done to compensate. Again, did not make a big deal of it because I didn’t want to make a scene in front of my kids. A usd 40 meal should be perfect, and sad that I had such a bad experience. 😩

    My son ordered the streak and for $40 we were very disappointed in the fact the server did not deduct the steak from our bill. Steak was super fatty, chewy, my son will eat anything but he spit out several pieces. I still tipped 20% because it’s not the server’s fault that it was a bad piece of steak.

    Very pleasant evening during CalPoly move in weekend. Nice ambience, easy to have a conversation; most of the food was good, I just found my tri-tip steak to be a little “rubbery”, which is not acceptable given the high end prices.

    The food was excellent and the portions were very large. We had a bit of a problem and the manager (I believe, Alex) was very accommodating. He handled the situation like a pro. We were visiting, but when we return, we will be back. Dr. DeMark

    The service was great and food was delicious! They had options for my whole group kids to adult with different preferences and palettes. Good drink options as well. Tucked off the main strip but easy to get to. We will be back!

    The food was disappointing (except for the pizza). Ribeye was overcooked. Short ribs, burger and brussel sprouts were bland. The pizzas were very good though. Service was good.
