| - As you may have read, Steak & Stone is in the former Anzio's Landing. The building is much the same. To the west of the entry is a brewing company. Upon entry, the reception/hostess area is cute, with the "how to" of the Steak & Stone experience on the wall, and what cuts are where on the animal. The hostess was nice enough...In a gruff way, if that makes sense.
Our party of four is led to a table by the window. It was a nice runway view, nice for our out-of-town visitors. This is where the ambience ended. Our waitress was nice enough, but not very attentive and detail-oriented. Our drinks came quickly. The others enjoyed their beer and bloody marys. My peach martini was nasty. Our waters were only filled once, at the very end of the meal.
The prices were high for what you receive. The salad bar didn't have much on it - a few salads, wilted mesclun and some toppings. The "hot bar" of sides was empty! At 630pm no less! There were only bourbon beans, a discolored arrangement of boiled vegetables, and two soups. Out of baked potato, out of sweet potato...Out of everything. We were also never given a bread board that I noticed on so many other tables.
I had the 6oz filet mignon. The meat was tender and had a wonderful flavor. I also enjoyed the bourbon glaze. Speaking of, we had a gal that brought out meat, who was separate from the waitress. This girl was ghetto. She talked about her tattoos and paid no attention to what she was doing. We hadn't asked about her tattoos, by the way. You're not the first on the planet to have one. She said that she would bring us the bourbon glaze, but never game back. I later mentioned it to our server, and she brought some. But, I digress. My meat was good. Not 30 bucks good, but good nonetheless. My husband and SIL had sirloin and shrimp, my brother sirloin and ribs. They enjoyed their meal. I should also mention that our Yelp check-in gave us an appetizer. We got the smoked chicken nachos, which were great. Our app came at the same time as our meal, which was poorly maneuvered.
All in all, this was a fairly good meal, but there is no attention to service and detail here, and the staff has no gauge on timing and amounts of food prep for the time of day. I have read other reviews, and though the managerial responses have sounded promising, it seems that no changes have been instituted.
