Nothing to write home about.
I came here last night for a family dinner and I have to say the experience was very underwhelming for what I thought was going to be a more upscale experience. The experience wasn't horrible but there were a lot of little things that bothered me, especially for what you pay.
- Bread must be requested. This was no problem, except that the bread came before our bread plates and the waiter didn't pick up on this until 5-10 minutes later.
- The waiter gave 3/4 of the individuals at the table steak knives, and forgot to take away two people's other butter knives. He walked away and then remembered to take away the unused butter knives, and finally remembered to give the last person a steak knife. Our dirty plates and bread bowl remained on the table until the servers realized they couldn't fit all the dinner plates on the table.
- When all four steaks came, the servers announced, "I have a steak here," while waiting for us to point out which ones were ours or something. Um, we all ordered steaks? If there's only four people at the table it's not difficult to make a mental note of who ordered which cut and which sides. We played musical plates three times until we all finally had the right plates.
- The steak was mediocre. I had a great cut (centre sirloin) but it lacked flavour-- kind of felt like something I could have just whipped up at home. It had a hint of a cheesy flavour which was a little off-putting because there was no mention of this seasoning on this steak (otherwise I would have ordered a different cut).
I have to give the servers kudos for trying their hardest but I personally like sticking to other steakhouses like The Keg for consistent quality and service.
Overall, not a horrible experience but I feel like you pay more for the ambience than anything. Probably wouldn't come back just because there wasn't anything special about this restaurant.
