| - I was visiting my uncle last week and since we knew we wouldn't see each other for New Years, he wanted to go to a nice dinner. It was about 6ish on a Friday night, and this restaurant was able to accommodate our party of 3 without a reservation.
We were seated right away, and bread and butter was brought to our table immediately. Our server, Jason, was ok. He didn't welcome us to the restaurant, didn't ask if we had any questions or ask if we had been there before. He just asked for our order. I got the scallops, with the truffle French fries, my mom got the petite filet with a baked potato and my uncle got the surf and turf.
The food arrived within a good amount of time. My scallops looked good, but I could see that my moms filet was pretty dry.. and she usually goes for medium rare.
I didn't try anyone's food aside from my own, and I was not too impressed. My scallops were overly salty. I usually don't like lemon on my food, but I had to use it to cut through the saltiness of the scallop.
I did notice our server was quite friendly with his other tables, stopping to have conversations and ask how their meals were, but after our food was served he never did check up on us to ask if everything was ok, and not once did someone refill our water glasses.
My uncle is a fan of dessert so after the meal, he ordered a creme brûlée for all of us to share. It was... ok. Something was off when eaten alone, but it was ok if paired with some of the berries on top.
We sat there for awhile after we finished with dessert and finally we had to ask Jason for the bill because he was not coming around. Everything came up to $140, which isn't bad for the steakhouse that this restaurant was trying so hard to be.
To be honest, I think if the service was a little nicer, I probably would have enjoyed myself more. But it was what it was, and I was not impressed.
