| - I had many Day & Nights to think about this Steakhouse experience... The building location is isolated, the decor is romantic, the menu on paper is an absolute steal, all these external features make for a promising night so why do I despise this place? Three words. Service. Food. Time.
$50.00/person course took a lot more effort to get the order than I've encountered before, it's as if they don't want you to leave while they don't want you to pay money for anything. When was the last time I waited 30 minutes and went to the restaurants kitchen/bar to flag down my own waiter and tell him I wanted to order my dinner?
Romaine Heart Salad came after another painful wait time and they literally burned the bacon bits with an atomic bomb. I'm sure you agree with me that no self respecting kitchen should ever burn bacon.
On top of that, it was a salad with a couple whole leafs of lettuce some shaved cheese and hard as rock croutons served with your own choice of pour your own damn dressing. Trying to cut the lettuce with a dull knife burned a lot more calories than I was going to consume.
After another while, Oysters Appetizers but that took much longer than I expected considering they're a Raw Bar and had to shuck 6 Oysters. Soup, you would think is straight forward but not when they came with Lobster Bisque all around while one of my friends ordered French Onion.
After two or so hours in the restaurant, we were worn down and by now wanted some meat, pay and never come back again. How often would you hear someone want to leave before they eat their steak at a steakhouse?
Ribeyes came, not as tender as one wishes but by now you could've served us dirt and we'll eat. My friend didn't even bother reminding the staff about his vegetable side order request. Dessert was Tiramisee-you-never-again.
Three hours after we step foot into the restaurant, we saw the night skies once again and what a lengthy adventure it was. It takes a lot to piss me off, so the good news for Day & Night is at least they're successful at something.
