| - For starters, this review has been influenced by groupon. We were given a dinner here by a friend, so I didn't have the same critical eye I would have spending ~$100 for dinner.
We didn't have reservations, so the only available spot was at a "bar/table" in the middle of the restuarant sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with 2 different couples we didn't know. 1 couple left & was followed by a single lady who quickly became part of our dinner experience. It was as if we were sitting at the bar, but sitting at a table at the same time, which is fine for a local dinner, but not the ambience I'm looking for when going out for something higher-end. I suppose we have no one to blame but ourselves for not scheduling reservations.
I ordered a few shrimp, my wife ordered a salad & we shared a big Delmonico steak. The shrimp were standard issue, as was the salad & the Delmonico was slightly above average, though was quite fatty. I had a few beers, my wife a glass of wine, we finished with coffee & spent ~$100 (which is a little steep for sharing an entree).
Probably more a true "meh-I've experienced better," but the groupon factor moved it up to a 3.
