I have been remiss in not giving a review to a place that my coworkers, friends and of course myself spend so much time at. This review is for the Chandler location only.
The list:
- Service - always great! Greeted promptly, always checked on and it seems there are 2 waitstaff per table. (I did have a friend tell me that one time only...he was left waiting at his table but that as soon as the waiter & manager found out they went out of their way to make up for the oversite.)
- Food - Let them bring the bread!! Save your "non-carb" moment for another time! YUM! The spinach salad is wonderful and big enought to split especially at lunch. (besides...you have the bread!) I've had a couple steaks and the prime rib, the fish and even dessert. I swear I've never had bad food here. Always "meets or exceeds" expectations.
- Beverages: OK selection of wine (see happy hour below). The do have some high end wineries on the menu but I find they have good standard wines and throw in a few "odd balls" that you don't normally see on a mid priced menu so try one of those. They do also have a full bar.
- Atmosphere - can be a bit loud. Especially if people do not remove the screaming children. :-(
- Happy Hour - definately do the patio. When it's chilly they have heaters and a big fireplace. The sliders are a complete meal! They also do (I assume they still do) 1/2 price bottles of wine on Mondays!!
So...don't let the fact that it's a chain deter you. Give them a try. I think you'll be pleased.
Cheers!
