We came from Texas to try this out due to its vaunted reputation. I disagree with those who feel it is overpriced, I believe we pay about the same at any fancy steakhouse in an urban area. Was the steak any better than a typical Texas fancy steakhouse? No, it simply wasn't. Was it as good as the best that Dallas has to offer (Bob's on Lemmon Avenue), no, not even close. \r
But the real rub, mentioned by some other reviewers, is the rude and unaccomodating management and policies. Is there another high end restaurant, anywhere in the country, where you have to pay cash only? Of course not! You should certainly ask yourself why that is. This is not America in 1952. Their margins can not be seriously impacted by a 2% fee. The only possible reason for this unfriendly and outrageous practice is so that they, unlike you or me, do not have to pay any stinking taxes. What book is it that discusses paying unto Caesar? I am used to getting this type of profer from building contractors (the typical recipients of no-doc 'liars loans') but I expect better from a seemingly legitimate business. They should not expect their customers to support this mafia model. When I expressed this the manager, he was anything but accomodating of the concept. \r
Next time, I will stick to Bob's steakhouse on Lemmon.
