Bad place to go if you want to spend more than 20 minutes for a meal 5/18/2007

Let's see our night started off with the hostess not wanting to seat us since two of our party were in the bathroom. Now I accept the policy but was speechless that instead of her saying "I can wait so your party doesn't have to find you" or simply "I am sorry but it is our policy," she responds to us with "I think I will wait and see if they are in there" meaning I think you are a liar. It was a business event with eight diners and I swallowed my pride and said not a word. We were seated and the waitress was at our table before the hostess left asking if we were all having prime rib, which everyone responded yes. Our menus were immediately removed, in fact not even one person had a chance to look in them, and another server had already started our salad. I was thinking wow that was fast but the speed of pushing us out the door did not end there. At the same time our salad was being cleared our carver was at our table cutting our beef. Just to break it down we where seated at 7:20, salad served not even five minutes later then cleared and prime rib served at 7:35 and not even had all of our party finished eating that our entree plates were cleared at 7:45. About five minutes later the rest of the party finished eating the bill was presented and the table stripped. After paying we never again had a server come to check on us. With most places I would say that with this kind of service we would not have to worry about them being around for long but the way the lobby looked on the way out I could tell that is not the case. Don't get duped into going here, plus honestly the prime rib at Houston's is way better. Pros: A few good dishes, prime rib not bad, awesome banana coconut cream pie Cons: They want to turn your table so fast they pratically kick you to the curb more
