| - Since I had such an awesome time with some girls here the last time that I came for a comp dinner, my friend and I decided to do another girls comp dinner for our birthdays. This time around I was sorely disappointed. Maybe it was because the last dinner I was at, some of the people in our group knew people who worked there. Whatever the reason, we did not get nearly the same attention this time around and the portions were so skimpy that some of the girls had to get bar food when we were done. The last few times I was here, we got so much food we couldn't even finish it. This time, it was like, 2 bites per person.
The food is actually pretty good, otherwise I would've given it 2 stars. The steak was tender and the salmon was perfectly cooked. I was also sad that they didn't bring us the martini glass dessert since it was a birthday thing, but it was free, so oh well. Another thing that was really annoying was that I knew one of the bartenders, and I asked him if he could get us a round of shots, which he usually does when we've been there in the past. While he was getting our shots, our server told us our first round of drinks was free and he took everyone's orders. At the end of the night, he gave us a bill for the drinks and said that the shots my bartender friend got us counted as the first round of free drinks. I felt that was wrong since he didn't tell us from the beginning. However, the manager Griffin did give us each a glass of champagne, so that was good too, except the last time I was here for ladies night the champagne was complimentary and kept coming all night!
I guess the key to getting a really good comp dinner here is to go with VIPs, otherwise you're just getting a really small free meal. Definitely not birthday dinner status.
