| - We went to William's Landing a few weeks ago for the first time for dinner. It's a pretty happening place and I've heard it becomes quite busy later in the evening. The music was a tad loud for my liking but then again, I might just be getting old, lol! We sat by a window which was nice. The edamame and calamari were excellent appetizers. We both ordered steaks as our main courses. I usually frown upon of myself for ordering steaks at non-steakhouses and this time, I was right about that. The steaks were edible but if you're a steak snob like me, they weren't great. We both asked for our steaks (different cuts) cooked medium. My steak (the flatiron) arrived very rare but it was already sliced up (the kitchen pre-slices it) so there wasn't much that could be done about it... it's not like they could put it back on the grill. It also smelled very odd. I can't put my finger on it, but it was just a strange smell for a steak to have. My partner's steak (the cab) was quite well done. Apparently, the kitchen doesn't know rare, medium and well-done. We ate the steaks nonetheless because we're not complainers unless something is majorly wrong. They had plenty of other tasty looking items on the menu. Overall, I felt the prices were a little more $$$ than I would like.
Our server was very nice but a bit distant. I noticed other servers were much more present and interactive with their guests.
On a side note, I noticed the orange seats in the dining room are quite low to the ground. I guess this is on purpose? For someone who's short already, I felt like I needed a booster seat at the table. As well, I noticed the fabric on these orange seats looks quite worn and I don't think the place has been open that long? Also, it looks like they have a lovely patio which would be great in the summer.
