| - so, we are on owner #3. haven't been going like we did in the past. we finally decided to take another chance. while it looks the same, there have been a few changes. the nasty, yellowed ceiling tiles were replaced. they painted, & put in new flooring, floor pads in the kitchen & a few more kitchen updates. i would suggest however, that they at least wash the booth fabric! you can see the years of dirty hands on the corners of the booth we were in. a lot of new staff too, but mickey is still there! we love her!
we asked about a bottle of red wine. the g.m. brought over 5 different bottles to choose from. they were decent wines, but they should have a just a smidge more variety. you can't really complain because they were only $25/bottle!
the menu was slightly changed, but the prime rib was back, just on weekends though. they used to have the BEST, used to. tom got the 14-oz. prime rib while i had the 10-oz. ribeye. we both asked for rare. the dinners came with a salad & a "pick 1" side. we got all of our food quickly. the salad was your basic salad. when the dinners came, & i looked at tom's plate, i swear, it was still moving! (haha!) we like rare, but this was blue rare, like throw it on the fire for a few more minutes! tom doesn't like to make waves, so he said nothing. he had to saw through the meat! the seasoning was good, but not great. a guy at another table complained about his being too rare. the g.m. tried to comp it, but the guy said no. instead, they got a free round of drinks! my ribeye was kinda thin, which meant it was a little too done! DANG! we always have room for dessert here because they get their desserts from signature's bakery. LOVE the burnt almond torte! tom had a slice of the limoncello cake. so light after a big meal.
it seems as though this guy is trying to make it better. i think there are a few more wrinkles to iron out. we'll go again, at least once more, to give them a chance.
