| - Let me start by saying I really wanted to like this place. The atmosphere was pretty neat especially with it being so close to the mall and I loved the concept of all the meat being grilled on wood chips. Now for the reality of it... we arrived a little after 9 pm on Friday. So the main dinner crowd was wrapping up and almost gone. The waiter seemed in a rush for nearly everything and it would have been nice for him to slow down and explain the menu especially since I explained it was our first time. He talked so fast he actually started stumbling over his own words and we couldn't understand him for some parts. OK not a deal breaker, yet. We then got to take a look at the prices on the menu which seemed a little steep but I was guessing the high price (over $30) in steak was because it had to be that amazing (they note their steaks are aged for 30 days in seasonings). Our appetizer of spinach artichoke dip was delicious, in fact pretty close to being the best I've ever had (and I order this a lot). The chicken wild rice soup was pretty good too! Nice sizes of grilled chicken. My Caesar salad was pretty good. Then came our steaks, the filet and ribeye. For medium it was done correctly, for the well done it wasn't enough. Now I did mention these were aged with seasoning right? I figured I would not need any additional salt, pepper, sautéed mushrooms, or steak sauce etc, but boy I was wrong. Both steaks were severly under seasoned and to my dismay there was no salt or pepper at our table. In fact our waiter vanished. Neither of us finished our boring steaks. The side of potatoes and green beans were not very good either. And to follow suit, under seasoned and not completely cooked all the way. Eww eww. This was by far the worst $100 dinner for two I have ever paid for. Needless to say we def won't be coming back for dinner... maybe Maybe MAYBE for lunch and that would be just for the appetizers, salad, and soup.
