| - While visiting the area, my friend and I decided to check out this restaurant for a late 8pm dinner on a Saturday night. We were seated right away. They were slow getting us drinks. The place seemed average for a Saturday night for foot traffic. I was really surprised not to see oysters on their menu for a starter as they had shrimp and calamari. As the night went on, it surely got quieter. I thought it was interesting that they had no music. I had ordered their filet mignon, with baked potato and it came with an iceberg house salad and my friend ordered their pork ribs with chicken also included the same house salad. Our salad took forever. Luckily they brought out French bread. The iceberg salad wasn't anything special. I honestly don't remember when I had an iceberg house salad last. Shortly after our salads, our dinners arrived, yeah! My filet was awesome, cooked perfect medium rare and potato was great. My friend's dinner was okay, her chicken was dry and tasteless but the ribs she said were great. After we ate, normally they offer a dessert menu, none was given. Idk, maybe the waiter thought we were full from dinners. Perhaps the waiter was new and or the kitchen was slow, idk. It was unfortunate as I would have loved to have something sweet and just maybe an espresso after dinner. I did like the décor, with the long curtains, classy. The owner walked around throughout the evening that's always a nice gesture. This was my first steak house that didn't offer oysters and dessert. I did mention to the owner as I was headed to the exit door about the oysters. $23 for a filet is pretty cheap that's unheard of in Cali., it would have been $50, seriousally. I'll be back in town, I may eat here again. I hope next time though, they turn some music on, offer oysters and some dessert.
