| - We went here for dinner tonight and concur with some of the previous comments about the lackluster service.
We made a reservation through OpenTable. We were seated at the worst table, despite only one or two other parties in the room...really high traffic area right by the kitchen/service station.
The table, did however, afford us a lovely view of the bar below, where we watched our server lean against the bar and socialize with some bar patrons for five minutes, with our glasses of wine poured and waiting in front of her.
The food was fine. My boyfriend had the elk, and I had the sirloin. It was woefully undercooked- I asked for medium but was not prepared for the amount of blood that poured out of it when I cut into it. Given that it was served over red pepper aioli, the mix of blood and aioli made my plate look entirely unappetizing.
We had to flag down the server to ask her to see if my rare/medium rare steak could please be cooked a bit longer. When she brought it back, she never bothered to stick around to check to see if it was cooked more to my liking. In fact, she never came back again to check on us.
A nicer server came to clear our plates, and then our server plopped the bill down on her way to another table without saying a word. We then had to ask her to take our credit card to run it, after her walking by again without even looking at us.
Overall, it was underwhelming and disappointing. There are far better dining options in Chagrin, where servers actually seem to care about your dining experience. We'll be frequenting those places instead of Gamekeepers in the future.
