| - ... Well, THAT was disappointing! ...
We're no strangers to this place. We like to eat here because mostly the food is fine, the service is good, the atmosphere is cool, no problems.
But Wednesday night? I won't say the wheels came off, but the tires sure went flat.
Begin with our server. Usually these guys are sharp, snappy, helpful, on the ball. Not this one. She seemed a little confused, as if her attention was elsewhere, And it took a couple of tries for her to get our simple order straight.
Then, the food itself. I asked for the Flat Iron Steak because it is usually delicious the way I like it prepared - "black and blue," which is seared on the outside and rare on the inside. What arrived was kind of pink all the way around; "appetizing" is not the way I would describe it.
My wife ordered either the Renegade or the Ribeye - I don't remember which - but as she cut her way through it, found there to be so much gristle that she had to leave half of it on her plate.
Granted, our server did offer to remake both of these, but by then it was late and not worth the trouble.
Finally, I don't know what kind of decaf coffee they're serving there ... but it would be nice if they could take a little of the turpentine flavor out of it. Once again, their decaf is usually acceptable. Not this time.
I'm hoping that this is a one-off bad evening, and doesn't indicate declining standards on the part of this location.
