| - I was there with a friend on June 29. We had made reservations and the 'check in' was smooth.
I found the location a bit dungeon-like, lol, but it was comfortable. It was before a Jay's game, so it was busy, bit loud however, we were comfy in a booth near the back.
The waiter (wish I could recall his name) was great. Service 5/5. He checked on us in a timely manner without being intrusive.
Food:
We both had the prime rib. My friend had it medium, I asked for as rare as poss. (default is med-rare). For sides, I had the chef salad. For 'house' salad, it was very good - it comes with only one dressing but I'd recommend. My friend had seasonal veg. as the side, and they were very good as well.
Prime rib was tender as it should be. No complaints at all.
... I know people go on about the bread - it's ok. I don't see the big deal about it, but yes, it's good, but I don't think it's all that 'artisan'.
I had calamari as a start - it was good as well. I'd order it again. I'm pretty sure it's prepared to order and not pre-crumbed, frozen. (The calamari is likely frozen, but at least it tasted like it was freshly made).
Was it mind-blowing? Not really. But the quality of food was good at what I consider reasonable for what you're getting. I'd certainly return, since the service was excellent as well.
