What happened!?
I went back a couple of times, the second thinking the first was just a bad timing sort of thing but this used to be my favorite spot. The music is loud and I think they updated the paint and decor but I was just so distracted by the lack of care and the music being too loud for a cozy restaurant. I just couldn't believe this was the place I used to bring friends dates family and recommended it to everyone.
I ordered my usual strip steak and it was ok but not cooked perfect like the medium I desire. Every time I went before it was always perfect. I get a caesar salad and it was bland and romaine tasted like a store bought bag. Beer was still good and wine was fine.
As for service, this is where I got confused and frustrated. Servers here used to be very friendly and had great personality with small talk and knew the menu like the back of their hand. The two prior times I thought I was being pranked. Different server both times but both had trouble finding their way back to our table. Ten minutes for a drink order of four and the place is half empty? A half hour for our food!? Then another twenty to have them ask if we wanted coffee or desert and then got our check.
I haven't gone back and have no plans to. Hopefully I get word of mouth that it's back to what I once liked about it and will maybe try it again. Third times a charm?
