Came in on a Saturday wearing a hoodie and jeans without a reservation so I expected a wait. What I didn't anticipate was the downtowners who came after us who also did not have a table, also had a party of 4, but was dressed for a Saturday night in downtown to get a table 30 minutes before us. When I questioned the fact that our wait time has stretched for an hour I was surprised to see that only a quarter of the restaurant HAD people while 3/4ths of the place was EMPTY! When I asked why we're being asked to wait, the response I got was "we're not ready to serve you yet". I was about to leave for Biff's across the hall since I know their food and service were better when my buzzer to indicate my table was ready went off. I came in to be greeted by another host which was a lot friendlier and I decided to try the food and give it a full out review.
To start, we ordered beef tartare since it was a favorite of ours and wanted to try it due to the reviews on yelp but found it underwhelming. It had a flavor resembling something like cold corned beef for some reason... would not recommend. We also ordered a side of nachos which was pretty decent but not for the price.
We ordered 2 lobster and steak, both of which were cooked well but the steak quality was chewy - it didn't taste fresh. The chef did the best they could with the meat they had but the quality of the beef was bleh. I would imagine the chef to be able to make something better if the beef was decent.
For dessert, we had triple berry crumble and sticky toffee pudding. They were pretty good but nothing that stood out really...
Will most likely not come back.
