I will NOT be eating at Old Original Bookbinders again.
-Overpriced, generic food. Filet was overcooked, Salmon was dry (nice flavors though...). The only saving grace of the meal and wine were the Lobster Mac N' Cheese, but how can you mess that up...?
-Their wine list was a complete mess, not to mention generic and boring. *Yawn*
-Was treated like I was at a diner by my server; he looked panicked the whole time he waited on me. I don't remember his name, but he was British, and socially awkward. Recited the specials and answered questions about the menu like he was a monotone robot. He even threw in a ""joke"" that sounded completely scripted and rehearsed.
-Speaking of socially awkward, PRAY the owner doesn't stop by your table to speak to you. He made my skin crawl and I caught him looking at my wife's breasts a couple of times (they were completely covered btw).
-On the way to and from the bathroom I saw the servers all grouped together. They were unabashedly talking trash about their tables.
I was actually surprised Old Original Bookbinders had any good reviews online...

We have almost abandoned Bookbinders as well. Hondos has better steaks and overall food at a much better price point. We experienced the roving owner as well! He was defending the fact that there was not enough ""business"" to justify a espresso machine. That night, his young daughter was joining him on his rounds and stood by our table with him. Very strange. Give Water Grill a try. You will not be disappointed.
