This "steakhouse" was so bad, it made me question the integrity of some of the awards thrown around in this town. I heard that it was closing this sunday and now I know why. First of all, the quality of product is so cheap. Lavosh that was set upon bread service was inedible due to so much salt. Maybe the clientele is so old, they're taste buds don't notice. Ordered a few sides, mac n cheese was mediocre at best but best thing we ordered all night. Among appetizers, the calamari was rubber. Not just "rubbery", Thick cut and overcooked, then piled into a deep bowl so it steams itself as it sits. Horrible. The crab cakes were cold inside and flavorless. My steak was not seasoned at all, and I took two bites before I asked for the check. Never was my table touched or anyone asking why we did not eat more than two bites of anything. Service is worse I've had since I left a Philadelphia diner at 2am ten years ago. Very sad place with no feeling of a classy "old school" steakhouse. More like everyone gave up. Best business decision for EC is to close this cult followed abomination. two stars because you don't say bad things about people on their funeral. Good riddance to the flame...
