| - Places like this have almost permanently done me in for going any place that is Fancy (capital F).
We had a party of 8 to celebrate a birthday, so we were ready to go all out.
We had 2 servers, which not sure if this was a common practice - but we certainly did not get twice the service.
There was a great deal of pomp surrounding ordering and napkins, etc...but some basics fell apart. We had to beg for an extra napkin, when they cleared plates for salads/apps - we had to ask several times for replacement forks/knives with our entrees. Getting refills on drinks was also a challenge.
For the entrees, we all ordered some version of steak. And they were wildly inconsistent in their done-ness. Medium rare looked completely different on 3 different plates. We did send one back (a rarity among my friends) that was way over done.
All that being said, my steak was good (ordered medium). The sides were pretty good - standard stuff for a steak house....asparagus, potatoes gratin, sauteed mushrooms, fries.
But, for the cost it was not worth it. Fine for a work dinner or if you're in town for a game and don't want to leave the north shore (snooze). Otherwise, unlikely that I'll be spending anymore of my money there.
