We were excited to try this restaurant, but it was a disappointing dining experience. We arrived 15 minutes before our reservation and were promptly seated. Everything after that was unbelievably slow. It was a VERY long wait for our drinks (we were a party of 2, one was wine so not complicated). We ordered an appetizer and that was good, but again very slow. We each ordered a steak and shared a vegetable. The steaks were delivered on a plain white plate with nothing else. We are used to nice steakhouses having sides be ala cart, but usually they do something to make it look nicer than a slab of meat in the middle of a plate. When the server brought our steaks out he said there weren’t any clean steak knives but they would bring them out shortly (never actually got them). The steaks were fair, not amazing (one overcooked some), pretty bland. The gentleman at the table beside us had asked for steak sauce and they said they didn’t have any. The second round of drinks (two glasses of wine) came long after we ordered them and because we were going to a show next door, we didn’t even have time to finish them. For the price point, the service and food just didn’t deliver. The restaurant was busy, but not totally full so I’m not sure why everything was so slow. The manager did come around to introduce herself, but it would have been nicer for her to focus on making sure things were more efficiently run or at least explain why everything was so slow. Thank goodness we arrived early and asked for the check as soon as our entrees arrived or we would have been late for our show.

Service was fabulous, drinks were very good, entrees were a little disappointing (filet and ny strip). Sides were great (garlic mashed and bacon mac/cheese). To clarify, the steaks were done as requested, decent cuts of meat, disappointing in flavor. Management was accommodating and we will go again, definitely recommend.

The drinks seemed a bit on the short side: if you’re going to bring out an old fashioned that doesn’t get to the halfway point of the glass it’s in, consider using smaller glassware. Perceived value is a thing

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback. Children can often be unpredictable in any setting and we are sorry that, in this case, that they disturbed your evening. That young family definitely had their hands full with three littles, but they were celebrating a special evening, which I am sure they don’t get many chances to do. We value all of our guest and am sorry that you didn’t get to enjoy the ambiance of our restaurant. We do you hope you try us again.
