Customer Reviews
This place is fantastic! We had the crab spinach dip as an appetizer and it was some of the most delicious dips I’ve ever had in my life. I had a filet mignon cooked to perfection with a huge baked potato and my husband had a bone in pork chop with roasted carrots with a delicious glaze and goat cheese sprinkled over it. Absolutely full of flavor! The overall vibe of the place felt upscale and comfortable. Our waitress was attentive and very polite. I loved this place so much that I had to speak to the manager as to brag on our experience. We will definitely be back!
I came into this place in order to place a to go order. I stood by the host station waiting for the hostess to look up from her phone. Eventually, I initiated contact and was able to place my order for their basic cheese burger and fries. I was told that it would be ready in 15-20 minutes. When I came back 20 minutes later I was told that it would be another 20 minutes. When I finally got my food it was very good and I wouldn’t have minded the $19 price if the service was normal. While I was waiting I noticed that the wait staff appeared to be very attentive to those whom were dining in. I would suggest not ordering to go from this place unless you call a few days ahead of time.
Our server was very sweet and the establishment nice, but my sons and I ordered 3 ribeyes and two of our steaks looked like New York strips or something. Only one steak looked like a ribeye. I asked 3 different employees, including the manager, and they all said it was a ribeye. The shape, size and marbling was all different. If it was indeed a ribeye, it was very disappointing. I was hoping for that beautiful marbling and soft-like-butter tenderness. I’ve included a photo. The steak on the upper left was mine, the one on the bottom right my son’s, the only steak that truly appeared to be a classic ribeye. My steak was more tough with zero marbling. Nice place but just left feeling disappointed.
It was lunch time and they were pretty busy. After being seated I noticed there were more than 4 tables that hadn't been cleared. After waiting for a while, Tonya the morning manager came to take our order. I ordered Chilean sea bass. The vegetables on the plate were bigger than my 1/2 palm size fish. This wasn't my first time here so my expectations were high. Needless to say, I was a little disappointed. The salad was beautiful and good. The carrots and mushrooms were delicious. The sea bass which I've had before was a bit greasy. And we had to send back our lemonade. Otherwise, great service.
Good food, but my expectations were higher for my steak. Just 4 stars. Tuna salad was very good. Port mushrooms are delicious. Excellent service. Atmosphere was very loud. I would expect something different for the price paid. For an upscale restaurant I am somewhat disappointed.
