| - This restaurant is hit or miss. Overall, an underwhelming experience from start to finish, but to their credit the steak was quite good. Three stars is for the steak -- everything else was just okay.
I got the steak/shrimp combo item, which included soup, side, main course, and dessert for $44. What I received was worth about $30, in my opinion. The gumbo was decent, but was more liquid than veggies or meat.
Next was over 1 hour of waiting for our food; when we asked the waiter about the long wait, he said, "We wait between courses to serve the next item." Really? Over an hour? Oddly, the restaurant was less than half full during our visit, which added to our confusion.
My side -- sweet potato cassarole, of sorts -- was good, but required a $4 up-charge. The steak was great, perfectly cooked and tender...I found myself wishing I would have ordered just a steak a la carte.
There was only one choice for dessert, strawberry shortcake, and it was very average. It came with three little chocolates on the side, which were also quite average, not flavorful or exciting in any way. My dining partners had the chocolate sin cake, which tasted like a slice of solid frosting: exceptionally sugary, to the point that we couldn't even finish it.
After dinner, I had coffee, and it arrived lukewarm, which was a somewhat sad finish to the experience.
