| - Went here for dinner Easter Sunday with my parents. None of us had been before, and wanted to try out a new steakhouse. It looked nice, and the hostess (who was also the manager) was very friendly and sat us. The restaurant itself is set up nicely....I don't think the atmosphere is all that cozy, but it's still a nice place.
The food wasn't very good at all. I ordered the filet with cheese and bacon. In the menu, there's a little table that shows and explains the difference between the temperatures (Medium-lightly pink...etc). I ordered my filet medium rare....like I do at every place. I told our server that I'd like it more on the rare side than the medium side. She explained the table to me, which I already understood, but know that restaurants tend to still overcook even with a type of guide. She said it'll come out medium rare. It came out medium.....very little pink, if any. It still tasted fine, but it bothers me when a restaurant focuses on that and can't even get it right. I know it was the kitchen, and not our server, but it's the fact that she pointed it out to me and it still wasn't right.
My mom's lamb was completely overcooked as well. Our server asked when she ordered it if it was ok that they were served medium. They looked more medium well and one of them was even burned on the outside. My dad...who loves steak, wasn't all that pleased with his meal either, which is rare for him.
The bread they bring out to the tables, along with the vegetables we ordered as our sides, were the only things that tasted good.
We needed to try it out, because how else do you know if you like a place.....but we all agreed that we definitely will not be back. With so many places to choose from, this one is not worth it. I was hugely disappointed.
