we enjoyed our meal but were told we could not add one guest to our reservation of two to make 3 because there were not enough seating options but obviously many tables were empty in the primary dining room .. VERY ODD !!

Ordered most expensive filet on menu prepared "medium." Came out raw and cold. Sent back for heat and more cooking, came back out unchanged and rest of party had completed meal. Very disappointing as it was supposed to be a celebratory meal. Our server was great though.
