Our server was awesome! So you can't blame him. Plus it was New Years. But it was actually not that busy.
We started with drinks which quickly arrived.
Our group of 8 had a reservation so we did not have to wait for a table. Props to Kari for her planning.
Started with some apps which arrived perfectly on time. The best part of the meal were the stars of the night. Second was the meatball.
The truffle Mac and cheese was good. The wife really liked it but I thought it was a little to cheesy!
Wife had the brisket and I ordered the filet.
2 other people had the brisket which ended up being a problem. The server came back and told us that the "owner just walked in and took the last briskets" all this after we already ordered. I've never heard of that and personally was offended by the selfishness of the owner.
Worst excuse ever and I would have rather been lied too.
Timing was good and they had plenty of runners. And the meals came out timed well but ready further of why that became the flaw.
I ordered med rare filet but it came out well done. At $38 bucs had to return it as it was so dry. Literally two mins later, their 2nd attempt arrived. Burnt, and over cooked again but better than the first time.
I forced myself to eat it but the wine helped it go down easier.
You could tell everything was pre cooked. My mashed potatoes tasted great but you could tell they pre plated them and they had a hard crust on them just like at a wedding.
On to the wife's short ribs. Literally she could not cut them. After one bite she gave up. Short ribs are supposed to be tender and fall apart. These were so over cooked it was terrible.
The rest of our party also had problems. Cold meatballs, disgusting and dry fish, salty Mac and cheese, sweet potatoes and pineapple was just wrong, pork tenderloin was more like pork jerky.
The waiter took the fish off the bill but I choose not to speak up. But he should have asked about the other non eaten meals. We just didn't want to complain.
Sorry but never again.
