The location, decor, patio and atmosphere are amazing. I love it for that and if all I wanted was drinks then it would do just fine. Alas, I wanted a good dinner and we went there because everyone in the group heard such wonderful things about it. Almost everyone at the table experienced some disappointments but no one could say that anything was "bad" - they only said they would not be back. So, the food is not bad but it does disappoint in several categories. The prime rib was cool and dry, not very creamy or tender. My burned ends were not ends at all, they were cubes of the brisket that were later burned to look like the real thing. That is cheating and very easy to detect because it is dry, hard, and over smoked. To be fair, everyone had elements in their plate that made it very nice and kept the frowns at bay. Something is missing in the kitchen, but it is a VERY nice place.
