| - We went here with a group of friends to celebrate the Christmas season. Busy place, huge parking lot with free valet parking. Old homey feeling with nice holiday decorations and warm fireplaces. My wife and I arrived a few minutes later than the rest of our party. I'm still waiting to see a menu. I asked for one and never got one; had to share. Interesting bread, flavorful. I'm still waiting for my bread plate, never got one. We ordered the scallop appetizers. Again, no appetizer plates. To describe the appetizer, think bacon with a hint of scallops and greasy sauce. Not good. Side salads came with entrees, nothing special. We had the Beef Wellington. The meat was perfectly prepared. The pastry and flavor was incredibly bland. Looking around our table, it looked like all of the beef entrees were prepared appropriately, but others seemed a bit greasy and not appetizing at all. Twice baked potatoes were OK, side vegetables non-descript. Wine list is basic, and of course they did not have our first choice. Prices OK to high for what you get. Also, there were no pickup cards for the valet, they just left the keys in your unlocked car and asked for your licence plate number. There are Groupons for this place, valid every night but Saturday, and there are also coupons in the newspaper and other places. I can't really complain about the steaks and the ambience, but the service and appetizers were terrible. Needs improvement.
