| - The Server Telling You To Tip In Front of Him!
I'll start with the good- 1. I loved the ambiance and history of the inside. You get to sit in the booths of people like Elvis, Sammy Davis Jr., Sinatra, and the list goes on. This was very cool. 2. The ribeye (20.oz) was excellent, but it should be for $54.
The just okay- 1. The Caesar salad (overpriced). The filet, okay, but needed some more flavor. 2. The outside (a portion of a dilapidated strip mall). 3. The service- did check on us, but when we needed something they didn't take time to listen, and bolted off, then came back with the wrong things.
The bad- 1. The $75 large lobster tale was overcooked, tough and chewy. The worst I have tried to eat at a restaurant (even including chains like Outback). Never again. The sides- I wouldn't recommend the $9 twice baked potato, the server said it could not be ordered without bacon, because it was made yesterday (ok, probably my bad decision). The asparagus was okay, but sauces cost extra (really?). 2. When the Bill Came, the server had a handheld credit card runner. He ran the card, and told us to put the tip on it Right Then and There. In front of him staring at us. Well, we hadn't expected that, and had not really figured out the tip. We were so shocked that we just guesstimated 20%. But, I really hated that whole thing. It was uncomfortable and tacky, not what you should get in a place as pricey as Golden Steer. 3. Holly Madison has a booth plaque...yeah, her. Has Gone Downhill....
