I'll try to keep this short...
I planned on getting together with my son for dinner tonight (he's 18, so it don't happen often enough anymore). I asked him what he felt like and he had a 1 word answer - STEAK. After a lame experience at another steakhouse recently I went online to explore and found Sayler's here on CitySearch. I'd never heard of them before but after seeing the majority of reviews in the 4-to-5 star range I thought it'd be worth a try. (Admittedly I was a bit worried about the several reviews I saw regarding bad service.)
We showed up and the parking lot was PACKED (uh-oh, bad service here we come). Got inside & got seated immediately. Literally within 10 minutes we had our beverages, appetizers & salads - let the gorging begin. I don't know how anyone ever had bad service here unless they've recently changed their policies. It was like the waitresses were on a rotation of some sort - any time one of them walked past our table, they asked if we were ok or if we needed anything. I probably talked to at least a half dozen of different servers tonight. The main course came out & was exemplary as well, not to mention timely. Let me be clear - the restaurant was 75% full tonight & we were in, WELL fed and out in less than an hour. I had no problem leaving a 20% plus tip.
If you held a firearm to my head and forced me to say something negative it would only be that the horseradish sauce that comes with the prime rib wasn't spicy enough for me, but that's coming from a guy who uses enough hot sauce on taco night to make myself sweat into my dish. This was the best dinner out that I've had in many moons. My thanks to Sayler's for their contribution to a great evening out with my son.
