| - Hubby wanted a nice date night dinner, so he found this steakhouse and they had decent reviews. We made a reservation for Saturday night. When we arrived it wasn't overly busy, which was nice. There were quite a few open tables. We still had to wait, even with the reservation. Maybe they were short handed in the hostess department.
We ordered coconut shrimp as our appetizer, A steak and crab as our entrees. Bread basket was warm and the garlic butter was good.
The coconut shrimp were disappointing. They were over cooked and none of the sauces really wowed us. We ended up eating them sans sauce. When our entrees arrived everything looked ok. The crab is pre-cracked, which is nice, especially with Alaskan King. Hubby's steak, however, was NOT medium well. It was medium rare at best and oozing all over the plate. To the point that I had to move so that I couldn't see it. Very disappointing. The waiter tried to blame the kitchen, then came back and told us it was his fault and he'd entered the order incorrectly. He offered to take it back to put "on the fire" for a few more minutes, but the damage was done and we don't send food back as a rule. For the price, we weren't satisfied. He also took our food to the back to package up our leftovers, so those didn't get eaten either. Just a general waste.
The view of Tivoli Village is nice and the atmosphere is ok. We won't be back for a 2nd trip. Maybe they were having an off night, maybe our waiter was just that bad, but too many strikes for too much money.
