The several visits I've had before tonight were all pretty flawless. Tonight started off with several challenges but management is only aware of one of them. My fault for not insisting they know.
Hostess - not horrible but she made us wait even though she said "there is no wait right now". Then said she would seat us in a few moments. Seconds later another twosome shows up literally in our shadow and they got seated immediately. Then as punishment for pointing this out, sat us in the "over flow" seating area next to the kitchen where I felt like I was manning the wheel on the line.
The Server - Austin was a very polite young man, but I was specific with my server when I ordered my Manhattan "on the rocks". He of course brings out a glass of ice and a shaker...then dumps it over my rocks glass of ice. THAT IS CALLED AN "UP AND OVER". I don't know what had happened to the Bartenders of today who think every goddam drink needs to be served in a fucking shaker! On the rocks means the alcohol is poured directly over the ice in the glass Im going to drink it out of. One other tip - adding bitters to the Manhattan does nothing for this drink - 86 it!
My Entree - ordered Caesar salad followed by Lobster & Prime Rib rare. Received mostly well done piece of bicycle tire. Kudos to the manager who promptly replaced it with a fresh and delicious cut. The Lobster was outstanding too!
All in all, for a $150 next time I'll cook this meal and save myself at least a c-note.
