Good food, steak was a little overdone, lobster bisque was amazing, but eating in the equivalent of a “wedding hall” for a $100+ per person meal is not something I would spend my money on again. I’m guessing we were in the “overflow” room, but let the pricing reflect that as well.

The prime rib we ordered medium however received it and it was very well done to the point that it was hard to cut with a knife. The lobster ravioli with the side of lobster tail was okay however the lobster tail was very hard to chew and was rubbery

The waitress was wonderful and the food was delicious. I had booked a table in the star light room for 6:30pm but was sat at a table in another room at 7:25pm which I rejected. This was a meal to remember my parents and the star light room was Mum’s favourite. We finally sat at our table about 7:45 pm. That is far too long a wait for a reservation. Very disappointing.

Terrible experience. We were shoved at a table that was right by a table for bus person stuff. Kept bumping into us. Loading up dirty dishes as we were trying to eat. Service started out very rough. She had a banquet that she was waiting on. Very slow. Food was cold. The cost of the meal for 5 person was not worth the experience. This was supposed to be elegant family dinner and it was a terrible ordeal. Very sad.

My wife’s rigatoni was beyond Al Dante and my steak which was ordered medium was rare. The steak had to go back and took about thirty minutes to get back. By that time we took it to go. The waiter had tables in another room and it felt like we were an afterthought. I had better steak and service at outback and Texas Roadhouse. For what you pay at this place I expect a lot better! We will never go back.
