| - I've been wanting to try this place since it opened because I love to go out to eat. I've been waiting though because based on Yelp reviews there seemed to be some kinks to work out. I have to admit that I was still apprehensive since the reviews seem to be great or horrible. No middle ground. Boy am I upset that I waited. I went for the first time on Wed 8/19. The food was so good that I returned on Fri and Sun. 3 times in one week. I know I have a problem, but the food is unbelievable. I am yet to have something that I didn't like. Go during happy hour (4-6) for half off apps. So far for Apps I've had stuffed mushrooms, Six-Cheese Artichoke Dip, street tacos, calamari, and Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls. Each one was fantastic. Only problem is that the cheese dip never comes with enough bread. It should come with double. Every time we need to ask for more. For entrees I've had beer can chicken, bacon wrapped filet, and prime rib. Again every one was very good. The best had to be the filet. Every bit as good as Fleming's ( my now second favorite restaurant ) and it costs $20 less and you get a side dish. As for sides I have tried the loaded baked potato which was very good and the mac n cheese which was kind of disappointing but my 4 year old liked it. I also tried the baked potato soup which was very good and a dinner salad which was also very good. The warm bacon dressing was phenomenal. I also want to add that they have a very good children's menu. I have 4 kids and they all enjoyed it.
I regards to other reviewers who said it was overpriced. You must really be some cheap-asses. This isn't Applebee's. This is a nice steakhouse! The prices are on par or better than Outback, but much better quality. This is more Fleming's or Del Frisco''s quality at a much better price.
Now for the bad. The service is mediocre at best and sometimes borders on horrible. We have had 3 different servers and although all were friendly, none were good at service. I could walk across the parking lot to IHOP and get service that is 10x's better. I have to assume that most of their servers had never waited tables before. Hopefully they improve. It's impossible to get a soda or water refill without asking. This is one of my biggest pet peeves. Even after you ask, they often still forget or it's not a priority to them and you wait at least 5 minutes for a refill and you're stuck trying to eat your food while sucking on ice. The second time we were there we never got bread and I didn't realize until we were ready to leave. I asked the server why we never got bread and her excuse was that there was never any baked. Really? We were there an hour and a half and I know other tables got bread. She should of just told the truth and said she forgot.
The food definitely gets 5 stars and makes this my new favorite restaurant, but service is 2 stars at best.
