| - After reading the rave reviews, I took my husband here for his birthday dinner last night.
Pros: delicious prime steak (and he's a steak snob), yummy wilted spinach salad. They seated us quickly (with reservation). Nice interior atmosphere, romantic. Good rolls too.
Cons: My husband got food poisoning. Thankfully, we did not share much foods, but we have narrowed it down to either the salad or steak. 5 hours after leaving he was in the bathroom all night. Which is a big bummer considering it was his birthday dinner and I surprised him with this restaurant.
My entree was a pork chop, and I ordered it from the yelp recommendations and server. I didn't care for it. It was flavored well but the dish seemed cheap. Pork chops are not a nice cut of meat, and it was served with a bean/rice and bacon dish. Bacon is a cop out for flavor. I should have ordered seomthing else because I was expecting so much more.
Also, the service is slow. We were really waiting for our entree, 2nd course and even the check for sometime, he was beginning to get annoyed. We ordered everything in advance, so I really don't know what took so long between courses.
We also were seated next to the kitchen's in/out door, which they covered with glass but still not a pretty view from many angles. I noticed several tables seated further away probably also had this view. Its a pet peeve of mine to be at a upscale restaurant and see the kitchen and wait staff in the back.
Also, there is a very limited menu. It was fine with me, but if you find yourself with a picky eater, this could be trouble.
We will not be going back, mainly because of the food poisoning.
