| - Many people gave this place 4 or 5 stars, and I have to wonder, "why?" I don't know how long this place has been open, but it's new and hubby and I decided to give it a go last night.
First, finding the place in the dark is very hard. No light up or easy read signs can be found until you are right up on the place. The parking lot is NOT lit and VERY UNSAFE in the dark. I would NOT come here alone. I came very, very close to asking my husband to cancel our reservations because I was very uncomfortable looking at the place in complete darkness.
We finally made it inside and were immediately impressed with the coziness of the place. Small and quaint, and the people were very friendly. I was a bit put off by the lack of organization. Everyone seemed to have to do more than one job. The bartender was also the hostess. The gentleman that seated us said he wasn't supposed to be working, yet why is he seating us then? I was very confused as to what was going on.
After being seated and drink orders taken, I decided to use their restrooms. I have never wanted to do my business so fast!!! I walked in and immediately said to myself, "WTF?" Their stall doors are short on top and too high on the bottom. Anyone could look over the door if they wanted and the rim of the toilet was level with the bottom of the door!!! SO GLAD I WAS ALONE!!!! I washed my hands and exited ASAP!!!
I decided to take advantage of one of their specials and have a $4 Long Island Ice Tea. IT WAS TOO STRONG!!! I love my alcohol as much as the next person, but when one sip kicks me on my ass.... It wasn't made right. I barely was able to finish it, and had to take little sips to do it. I couldn't taste the flavor.
The food itself was good. We started with the bacon wrapped scallops. NOT WORTH THE COST!!! While it tasted fine and came out hot, I was extremely disappointed to see they took 2 scallops, cut them in half and wrapped bacon around them. Overall, I think they used 2 pieces of bacon and 2 scallops for a total of $12! OVER PRICED!!! I ordered a 10oz Sirloin, medium. I got a 10 oz done medium, brought out hot. I also got a house salad and potatoes au gratin. I asked for Oil & Vinegar for my salad. They later told me they were out and came back with a Balsamic dressing. While I like balsamic dressing, I wish I would have had a choice. I kinda was in the Ranch mood. The Potatoes Au Gratin was WORTH IT! My husband ordered the T-Bone,medium, and Mac & Cheese. His Mac & Cheese came out cold. NOT COOL! but at least his steak was done right. Overall, I thought the steaks were cooked well, just a tad salty.
I'm sure my disappointment is palpable. I WILL NOT be returning. Cost is very high for what you get, and I can definitely get better elsewhere. I've HAD better elsewhere.
