I was reluctant to make the trip and now I wish we would have gone to any other restaurant. We were a small but quiet group and it seemed like one big train wreck of an experience for each and every one of us.
Here is what I must say:
1. A single small glass of house wine was over $13. It was $10 + tax + the bartender added gratuity at 20%. It is a giant rip-off. How can you do that to hosts, guests and patrons?
2. I ordered their signature larger cut of bacon-wrapped filet. It came out with a wood stick labeled ‘medium’ but I had ordered it well. I waited for the waitress to come back and she looked at me as if I was crazy for not cutting into it- I thought given the stick label maybe they accidentally switched mine with someone else’s and therefore was willing to wait to even touch it- well she then followed it up with “it is probably just the wrong stick.” Well it wasn’t. It was red, not even pink, on the inside. Butterfly it for all I care, just understand the commonsense that someone who doesn’t order meat with any pink won’t like it red. It went back and must have been put under a heating lamp or popped in the microwave, as it returned the exact same. The funny thing was it took forever and everyone else was over halfway done before I ever had the chance to start eating my entrée. Anyway, at this point you would have thought I ordered it blackened. I just ate the outside and left the majority of it, blood red, on the plate. No one ever came by; no one ever questioned the blatantly obvious.
3. Throughout the entire night a waitress would always chew her nails by the water ledge in the corner. All her fingers would literally go inside her mouth and then she would only stop when bothered. I was disgusted. This is unacceptable. Period. Where is the management??
4. When we asked for checks there was still food we were working on. When the checks came we were literally still chewing and the plates were taken right from under us. We left upset.
I know I won’t be back. None of us ladies will. We should have had a memorable night for the better, not worse.
