| - Please note, I seldom give anything less than quite favorable reviews. Not this time, however. Hadn't been here before, but in the mood for steak. Efficient valet parking. Dated decor; oh, well, it's the burbs. Had a reservation, and the restaurant was less than half full. Hostess wanted to seat us right next to the kitchen on a main aisle. We requested a quieter table, so she then tried to put us directly next to a large party, though numerous other tables were empty. Server was cordial, but heavily accented English made him difficult to understand. Ordered the $99 for two special. Was supposed to be 28 oz porterhouse (rather grizzly), roasted cauliflower (burnt), carrots (one each of the smallest baby carrots I've ever seen; they should have been called premie carrots) and potatoes (very burnt). They were out of the suggested wine, and the server brought over a container (no bottle with a label, though it was about $15 a glass), poured a bit to taste, then walked away! Had to pour my own glass! Had plenty of room for dessert (and we are not heavy eaters) but opted not to, and to cut our losses. After tax and tip, with one glass of wine, no salad, it was nearly $90 a person. There are many other places to choose from in this city. Will not be back here
