$100 meal at a fine dining STEAK HOUSE and can't get the steak right?
Came here with my buddies on Friday night. This meal was hyped up for us - and was definitely looking forward to the steak all day.
Not much of a beer selection, 2 IPA's with one of them tapped dry at 8:30pm. Not the greatest beers either but did its job. Later switched to an overpriced Italian Merlot - definitely not worth the price tag but good enough to be paired with a steak.
Started off with a caesar salad which was... well just a carsar salad. This wasn't the main event anyway so how good or bad the caesar salad is, was the last thing on my mind.
The main event was the rib steak 16oz, which apparently per our waiter was their claim to fame. Ordered it medium just the way I like it. Where this dining experience lost its stars was the fact it came to me very much on the rare side. Fine dining restaurant and can't even get a medium right? Come on guys!
When bringing it up to the waiter, he immediately responded "we can throw it back on the grill for you". It was so much on the rare side that he should know, a waiter at a "fine dining steakhouse", to get it to medium would dry it out completely now that it was opened up.
This is where the experience fell apart completely. The waiter did nothing to fix the situation, did not offer a new cut cooked up, did not offer anything off the bill, nor did he offer compensation of any kind. He didn't care to resurrect the situation - you should expect this level of service for the price you pay.
If you want your steak done right, i would look somewhere else. Nothing ruins your meal more than a steak cooked 2 levels off from what you requested it... save your time and your money - i sure won't leave it up to chance on a revisit.
