We came at around 10:00 on a Friday to take advantage of the after 9:00 deal. I'm not sure if other reviewers mentioned it but the price increased from 25$ to 29$. Not a huge deal but just saying.
We were first seated right near the entrance. It was one of the worst tables in the place so I asked if we would be able to move. The manager (I think?) warned us that the other table available was in a squishy location. I hesitated but finally decided to move. That was a great decision since our second table was cozy, quieter and much more to my liking.
They quickly brought us bread, pickles and coleslaw but no water. The coleslaw is to die for and although I'm not a huge fan of pickles, these are pretty great. The bread was cold and hard so when the waiter came, I asked for a different basket. He was really nice and said he'd be right back. The issue is, we didn't see him again. Nobody came to our table for like 10 more minutes and this time we had a different waiter. We still hadn't gotten water. I asked the second waiter if we could have a new bread basket and he seemed slightly irritated, stating that the bread is fresh and is made the day of. He reluctantly got us a different one.
The food itself was good. We both had caesar salads and rib steaks. We were going to share the rib steak and the rack of lamb but we were relieved that we didn't when we saw the lamb at a table next to ours. It looked like a really tiny portion.
The salads were nothing special. It was fine but not more than that. This was the first time in months that I had a steak (I try to cut down on meat as much as possible). It was delicious. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. It seemed much smaller than the last time I was here however. I wouldn't know for sure but I think it is smaller than the rib steak on their normal menu.
The service was not great. I found our waiter to not be the friendliest. I find that there is a difference in the service you get before 9:00 vs after 9:00. Yes, the clientele is surely different. This however, is no reason to treat clients differently. In my opinion, comparing my experience yesterday to a time I went with my family at 6:30, there was a difference. Our waiter said they were short-staffed as we were paying and apologized so maybe it was just an off-night.
Even with the price change, it is a great value and a nice place for a fancy date (on a budget). There is a great charm about it and the restaurant is decorated really nicely. Very classy experience. Only complaint is that some tables are really on top of each other.
Service: 2/5
Atmosphere: 4/5
Food:3.5/5
Value:4/5 (after 9 wed-sat)
