| - i just want to start off by saying that my boyfriend and i ONLY visited this place because of the good reviews posted on yelp.
We are the type of people that will try a mom and pop type place over corporate any day... with that said, i do expect the restaurant and its employees to put their food first. I was immediately disappointed to see a salad bar in a sit down restaurant not called "super salad". We were sat right away had a few mins and ordered a bottle of wine. The menu wasn't anything special, nothing really stood out as unique. I decided to go with the filet and pasta and the boy went for the prime rib (on special). We both were informed we would have the option to make our own salad from the salad bar. Lets just say the salad bar was limited... no eggs, no bacon, no 1000 island, i guess if caesar was the type of salad you wanted it would be fine. We were given lemon sorbet before our meals came which was good, however served in plastic shot cups. When our food came everything looked AMAZING! I cut into my filet and realized it was not cooked to the medium temp that i ordered it, but was barely cooked enough to actually be served to the public. Obviously i sent it back to be cooked a little bit more. My boyfriend's prime rib looked delicious! Beautifully pink horse radish and au jus on the side. We both had pasta as our sides... the Alfredo was awful. I also added an extra side of their tomato which was equally as unpleasant. Flavorless to be exact. When my steak came back to me it was completely cooked, well done. I fought having a new one prepared for me, but when i realized it was too unbearable to consume i asked the hostess/busser to ask our server to come back, she was out side smoking. I gave her my steak and said i'd rather have a new one. She was gone for a new mins and came back to tell me that the kitchen was closed and it would take 40 mins to heat the grills and prepare me a new steak. Lets just say she tried to save the situation.... unfortunately for her and the owners of this establishment i am very aware of HOW things such as "ovens" and "grills" work. An already hot oven does not take my quoted "40 mins" to reheat. In fact if you had just given me an over done steak cooked on the grill it would have still been hot... the steak that was returned to me had no re-sear marks on it and was rubbery... i do not appreciate being given a steak from the microwave. I have been in the restaurant industry for over 10years. I think the thing that upsets me the most is that this place has inexperienced COOKS working for them, i did have the pleasure of watching the kitchen staff run out of the restaurant 10 mins after they basically told me to take my steak and f*ck myself with it. The tattooed dark haired lady also felt it necessary to yell "F*CK THIS" upon exiting while my boyfriend was finishing HIS meal. So lets just say my over all experience was disgusting, i expect these things when im drunk at denny's, but i was prepared to drop a lot more money into this meal. I do not appreciate having my server shout at me lie to me or not fell it necessary to involve a manger in this ordeal. there is no way this place will survive. It was8 pm on a saturday night for crying out loud!
