| - I was in town for a convention, and a salesman booked a group of us for a Sunday dinner here. Like most corporate steak restaurants, it caters to business types eating on expense accounts, so prices are relatively high, and the menu is pretty simple. They do offer seafood, but meat is the main thing, so you're best served ordering a hunk of beast.
We had calamari, oysters Rockefeller and raw oysters on the half shell as appetizers. The raw oysters were the clear standout, fresh and briny as they should be. The others were nothing special. Someone near me had French onion soup, which looked good and which he said was quite tasty. I went with prime rib as an entrée, which came with mixed veg and pilaf. The beef was cooked to medium as requested, and was quite tasty, but the jus accompanying it was over salted.
Our server was great, a college student who just so happened to be studying in a field related to ours, so we had a nice conversation on careers. The overall experience was just middling. There are lots of chains competing for the business crowd, and this one doesn't stand out, which may be the point. It's a safe choice for picky eaters, new clients and associates with unknown tolerances for "challenging" cuisine.
