    Ordered the ribeye. Flavor was great but was a thin cut like you would get at Sizzler or Outback. Service was ok but not very personal. The steak felt over-priced.

    Our server was inexperienced and untrained. She was unable to assist us with our wine selection. When she brought the bottle of prosecco we ordered, she poured our three glasses full. Much later, when we motioned for her to come to our table and pour the rest of the wine, she poured one full glass, then the last small amount into another glass and phad nothing left for the third class. She then asked us if we wanted to order another bottle. What we wanted, and expected, was that she would divide the remainder of the wine equally between the three of us. We never indicated that we would want more than one bottle. When we mentioned to her that she had poured the wine so unevenly, she said she didn’t know how much was left in the bottle and didn’t check. Also, regarding the food, she failed to mention the upgrades which have been offered in the past, such as adding tomato to the grilled cheese sandwich. As a result, the sandwich was not as good as usual. Finally, the house chips were very greasy and soggy.

We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide a better experience. Hospitably, Andre Hudson Food & Beverage Manager
