Not sure how I felt about the whole experience. On the one hand, the appetizers and drinks were excellent in size, quality, and value. On the other, my main entree was a subpar cut filet that was both bland and bad in texture. The staff is great here, and they seated us promptly. Even with our large sized group, the staff was able to keep up with drinks and keeping the table clear. They took our orders quickly, and there were no issues once the food (entrees and apps) came out. Like I said, it was just the quality of my filet that left me wondering if I was really at Merlot's or if I was at Ponderosa Steakhouse. Would I go back? Sure! I'd give them another try.
