Great food, but this is the second overcooked steak from two visits. I’m not one to send food back and while flavor was good, I’d prefer a better cook. The waitress did say that since it’s smoked prime rib (which I swear was a NY strip), that she would write rare and she couldn’t guarantee it, but it came out as medium. The gentleman that brought the steak wanted me to cut it in half, which didn’t make sense since the waitress mentioned there’s not much to they could do since it’s smoked, so I’d be checking doneness for no reason and losing the juices of the steak at their request to halve it. I can’t imagine they’d smoke it beyond 134 degrees, but even the ribeye I had the previous time was overcooked. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great quality food, but tough to continually pay high prices and not receive what’s expected. Might give it another shot at a less busy time where the chef might be more focused.
