| - I'm torn. I could care less about price if it's worth it. Ex: food is spectacular, service is spectacular. I went for a very early NYE dinner (think before the 6pm hour, so def not crowded). There was good and bad.
Good: the dirty vodka martini was spot on. The Brussels sprouts were phenomenal!! The cheesecake made me cry tears of joy while I ate it, and I hate cheesecake. Oh dear lord, it was good.
The BAD: umm, my steak. The first one, a waiter-not ours-set down was not what I ordered. A second "correct" one was quickly brought to me...but after 4 or 5 bites, I realized-either this is the worlds most flavorless ribeye, or again, I was served the wrong steak. However, I had eaten into it and didn't want to send back-even my husband agreed it probably wasn't the ribeye I'd ordered.
And the service-also not good. The waiter at the table next to us chatted them up, asked about their plans, hell-even told them the specials. Something our waiter never did. I'd loved to have known so I could have ordered some. Ours disappeared after the steaks hit. No checking to see if things were ok, no follow up. My martini ran dry. My husbands beer ran dry. We saw our waiter briefly when he asked if we wanted dessert. I did indeed!! But had I known it would show up about 30 min later, well, I might have passed. Cheesecake, y'all. Nothing exotic,
Halfway through desert, our waiter reappeared to simply drop the check and leave. I paid while eating, then decided I was full and would love to have a box for the dessert I paid for. So we sat. And waited. And waited. And WAAAAAIIIITEDDDDD.
Mind you, it's maybe 6:30 pm at this point.
So I won't go back. For the price point-I need great, not ok. All I needed in life was a kick ass steak and vodka martini. I got half. There's better places to blow your money, y'all.
