| - After reading all the stellar reviews, I knew this was the place for my hubby and I to celebrate our first anniversary.
I was pretty surprised when we arrived. I did get a rose but the place seemed as unpretentious as you can get. There were people in jeans drinking Bud Lite everywhere! I felt overdressed in my casual dress and hubs in his kakis and button down.
Anyway, dinner STARTED off great. We were greeted immediately, drink orders brought promptly, dinner ordered in no time flat. Bread basket arrived (bread just okay, nothing special) and salad cart whisked over. We got started on our delicious salads (so fun getting to custom order at your table from the salad cart!)
Then it was like 'poof', everyone disappeared! We couldn't get a drink refill or even a glass of water to save our life. We were so desperate we even tried to get a drink from the food runner (of course he just mumbled something about tracking down our server but never did). To make matters worse, we were sandwiched between two very large, very loud & drunk parties so we had to shout at each other just to have a conversation.
Dinner was perfectly cooked - I had the seafood trio, he had the prime rib. Both excellent, no complaints there. The chocolate dipped fruit was kind of lame (dried apricots dipped in chocolate? not so good) but whatever, it came with the meal. We didn't get any sorbet after salad so maybe they stopped doing that? I dunno.
Finished our fruit and sat around for another 20 minutes until my husband finally started waving his credit card around trying to catch someone's eye. 20 minutes later bill finally arrived. Brought by the salad guy. Ridiculous! Had to leave because we were so parched.
4 stars for food, 1/2 a star for service and ambiance. I'd spend my hard earned money somewhere else!
