| - Shockingly terrible! Don't bother!!
We were excited to get a reservation to this venerable baseball joint while we were in AZ for spring training. It turned out to be one of the worst dining experiences ever. There is no baseball vibe here. It's just going off of an old reputation which it doesn't deserve. Service went from bad to worse. The waitress finally brought glasses of water and a carafe. She left with the carafe??? Our cocktails showed up, but one of the glasses was cracked from top to bottom. We waited and waited for dinner and the waitress offered to bring us bread. We waited forever for bread, which she then said was still in the oven. She brought three more glasses of water without clearing the first four glasses or the salad plates. By now, the table is getting pretty crowded. Six tiny slices of stale tasting bread showed up for four people. We asked for butter which took ten more minutes. Finally the salads showed up. All the while, the waitress is apologizing for things apparently out of her control. When our dinners finally showed up (50 minutes), some of us needed utensils and we didn't receive steak knives. After we finally received the necessary utensils, the steaks were very good, but the vegetables looked and tasted like they had been boiled since the day before. The broccoli was gray. The pork stew looked like a lunch portion and wasn't very good. We finally finished and asked for the bill. We provided a credit card and the waitress returned the folder. To cap it all off, there was no pen provided!!??!? Needless to say, we didn't leave a tip. All this for $212. PS - They were out of one of their house wines and the bathroom had no paper towels. What do you want for an epic dining experience? Go to Don & Charlie's instead. Good food, good vibe, good service, good time.
