Member since 87. Best bone in ribeye ever. Lately the wait stay have left something to be desired.
Rehearsal dinner was held here. Food was good, but I doubt it was worth the price. The prime rib at our table varied from rare-rare to well done. I like rare to medium rare, so I traded my wife for hers. It was blue at best.
We asked the bartender what the service fee was for- we literally had 2 drinks. He grumpily stated it was "... to pay the waitresses' wages." There was no waitress involved. Maybe he had to ad the fee because he was so bad? The whole thing was a surreal experience. I've had way better service at way dingyer establishments. This guy was a jerk plain and simple.
To give you an idea of how bad it was, we drank our drinks, paidnn and left. It took a good half hour. I was there with a professional bartender. He leaves MASSIVE tips. The bartender got nothing. At the rehersal, my biddy was basically paying the server for our drinks yet it was an open bar (she was lovely).
Staff is very attentive and the food is excellent. Great dining experience.
The biggest reason for my negative review is the experience we had at the restaurant bar. Service was atrocious. It was like the bartender got lost pouring our drinks. When the drinks came we immediately asked for the bill. It took so long, I swear the guy had to make the paper before printing on it. Then there was the sticker shock. We got a couple of neat, mid to lower level liquors. Two doubles cost more than an entire bottle, and that is before they tacked on their service fee.
When I go out I usually don't dress too formal. The bartender had an air of snobbery, so at first I figured the poor service was because we were "lesser clientele." We were in well tailored suits, so that couldn't have been the case. In the end, I concluded the guy was just a jerk and we went back to our dinner and had a blast.
Great menu and great service!
Delicious food, superb service!
The sides were OK. The bar staff, servers, etc. We're also decent. I talk about price not knowing how much things cost, but based on their menu and the price of drinks at the real bar I suspect the bill was HIGH. Normally I'd give a 3-4 star rating, that's obviously not the case...
I will never go back unless there is an unavoidable reason. If that happens I might crash my car on the way just to avoid it. It was so bad!
