For our anniversary we decided to revisit a favorite restaurant. We hadn't been there in a number of years and have fond memories of the excellant meals and good times we have had there in the past. The beautiful historic building had not changed but the minute you entered the door you could feel a definate change in the atmosphere from years past. There were very few people having a meal, where in the past you had to wait to get a seat on a Friday night. The waitstaff was very attentive and efficient. They were accomodating when I ordered my catfish prepared differently than was offered on the menu. But then we got our food. My husband had ordered prime rib, medium rare. As the plate was put on the table it was evident that it was not medium rare. Not wanting to complain, he tried to eat some of the meat. It was dry and overdone. The waitstaff agreed it was not what was ordered and took it back. Another plate arrived, this time the meat was still not medium rare but was also almost frozen. We ended up leaving without eating. For a restaurant that says the specialize in prime rib, and did in the past it was a very disappointing meal. But on the up side the waitstaff was great and the building is fasinating.
Pros: Good service and beautiful historic building
Cons: Poorly prepared food
