| - The rib eye steak and the Monte Carlo potato I had were wonderful. The steak was juicy, and perfectly cooked red-pink throughout. I suspect the potato was half butter, but is was still delicious. Had these been the only components of my experience, I would rate Moshie's a 4.5. (Half a point was deducted because of the general snobbiness and absorbent prices... Seriously, you charge $70 for a steak and can't throw in a potato for free?)
However, the filet mignon my mother ordered was atrocious and the handling of the issue was unprofessional to say the least. Like me, my mom ordered her steak medium done. What came though, was a dry, flavourless brown brick with a finger print worth of pink in the middle. My mom isn't one to complain or let small things bother her, but because the steak was virtually inedible, she mentioned it to our waiter. Now, in most places, the automatic response would be to replace the steak. In our case, our server claimed that because of a filet mignon's low fat marbling, this was bound to happen. Wtf? I am aware filet mignon cuts have a lower fat content, but you would think that an establishment that prides itself on its steaks would realize that and adjust for cooking time and heat. After no answer, he then proclaimed, "Well what do you want me to do?" It's quite obvious... Replace the goddam steak. However, my mom is avid to avoid conflict and just said she wanted to let him know. The end result was a $70 inedible steak.
Our bill comes. As a way to make it up to my mom, they provide us with two table spoons each of wine in miniature wine glasses. Really? Couldn't even bother to bring my mom one full glass of wine?
What happened next was just atrocious though. Never in my whole life of dining have I ever saw a waiter open the bill and count the money right in front of his customers before. He then asked us if we wanted change. The common curtesy is to remove the bill, get change, and leave it up to the customer to remove whatever they want or leave it all.
I don't know how he could ever think this was okay. It implies that you don't think the customer paid the full amount or left you a tip (which my mom did, and a generous one which he did not deserve).
For $200 for one dinner, I expected so much more. How one could serve a filet mignon that disgusting and how one can allow your servers to behave that way was beyond me. The guy acted like serving us was beneath him. We're all equal human beings, but serving customers is your job. You might as well make your customers comfortable.
End rating: 2 stars (the ribeye saved it from being one star)
