| - Location, it was odd, a strip mall parking lot isn't where you'd expect to eat a $50 steak. Making things even odder, a valet occupied all of the restaurant specific parking. Honestly. This building could have been an Applebee's 6 months ago and now there is a valet?
Ambience, they had the classic stake house lighting levels, but as a whole it came off lacking charm.
We gave service an 8/10, though perhaps we are spoiled when it comes to set menus (we ordered the three course winter menu). We waited approx 5 minutes between courses, which is not how it's done. Instead of timing, they relied on a bottomless bread service to curb our hunger as we waited for the next course.
Our scores of the food are as follows:
Bread and spread 8.5/10
Butter squash ravioli 4.5/10
Blood orange sangria 6/10
Salad 3/10
Porcini filet (broiled 9/10, pan seared 6.5/10). Oddly enough, the pan seared filet was dry and less flavorful than the broiled fillet.
Desert (forgettable) 3/10
If we go back, we will try the wine list, go for the broiled filet and call it a night.
